"I Want to dream about
Something I can't live withouit
My foot is in your hand
I want you to understand
how I could be confused
right after being used
but still your here in spite
when I close my eyes to dream at night
I've gotta keep my pants on
I gotta check my pulse before I've gone too far away
to hurt so i think I'll stay around to hear ya breath
saying all those words to me
unraveling my fantasy while I drink
my oleander tea"
Although this could easily be passed off as a relationship song, this verse suggests rape or sexual abuse. How she says shes gotta keep her pants on, and her foot is in somebodys hand, with that I think she means that someone is trying to prevent her from running away. Also with the "but you're still here in spite, when I close my eyes to dream at night" suggests that something has shook her up so badly that she can't get it out of her head. This is sang with so much emotion.
