Sugar for the Pill Lyrics
There's a buzzard of gulls
They're drumming in the wind
Only lovers alive
Running in the dark
And I rolled away
Said we never wanted much
Just a rollercoast'
Our love has never known the way
Sugar for the pill
You know it's just the way things are
Cannot buy the sun
This jealousy will break the whole
Cut across the sky
And move a little closer now
Lying in a bed of gief
You know I had the strangest dream
And I rolled away
Said we never wanted much
Just a rollercoast'
Our love has never known the way
Sugar for the pill
You know it's just the way things are
Cannot buy the sun
This jealousy will break the whole
And I rolled away
Said we never wanted much
Just a rollercoast'
Our love has never known the way
Sugar for the pill
You know it's just the way things are
Cannot buy the sun
This jealousy will break the whole
They're drumming in the wind
Only lovers alive
Running in the dark
Said we never wanted much
Just a rollercoast'
Our love has never known the way
Sugar for the pill
You know it's just the way things are
Cannot buy the sun
This jealousy will break the whole
And move a little closer now
Lying in a bed of gief
You know I had the strangest dream
Said we never wanted much
Just a rollercoast'
Our love has never known the way
Sugar for the pill
You know it's just the way things are
Cannot buy the sun
This jealousy will break the whole
Said we never wanted much
Just a rollercoast'
Our love has never known the way
Sugar for the pill
You know it's just the way things are
Cannot buy the sun
This jealousy will break the whole

As for the songs meaning, I feel it's very much a disarming ballad about heartbreak. Knowing it's over & the riptide of feelings that you find yourself drowning in.

@sin-gin106 thank you for that suggestion. And I completely agree.

I would like to add that I believe it's grief, not greed. Makes much more sense in the context of morning the end of a relationship

I think this is about Rachel and Neil's relationship down the years
This song is about John Cena. Because you can't see him!
