I am gonna take a swing at the meaning of this song.........
Drink down that gin and kerosene,
and come spit on bridges with me.
Just to keep us warm.
Then light a match to leave me be.
Light a match to leave, me be.
And I keep my jealousy close,
'cause it's all mine.
And if you say this makes you happy,
then I'm not the only lying
(Maybe these are two people getting drunk, setting fires and enjoying themselves. Then light a match leave me be must be her leaving him alone, and maybe hes jealous of something, maybe she has another guy. Then when she saying she happy shes really not and he knows this.)
Keep quiet,
nothing comes as easy as you.
Can I lay in your bed all day?
I'll be your best kept secret
and your biggest mistake.
The hand behind this pen relives a failure everyday.
(Keep quiet, maybe they are having sex or something, and they are lying in her bed and he just wants to lay there. Maybe shes cheating on a guy with him here. Then afterwards he must right about it.)
So wear me like a locket around your throat.
I'll weigh you down; I'll watch you choke.
You look so good in blue.
You look so good in blue.
(Maybe he wants her to keep him in mind, and wants her to feel guilty. Then he wants to see the relationship blow up in her face. Then you look so good in blue is either she looks good in blue, or she is blue because shes sad and he likes to see her that way.)
