The singer's voice on this track is amazing.

I've never really looked at the words before, so this is just a first impression, but it seems to me that it has something to do with a crazy relationship that these two people just rushed into...

"Sweet relief calms me down Makes me drown "

Based on the later 'sheets are stained' reference, it seems pretty obvious to me what this is about. Unless the 'sheets are stained' just means they're living a careless life and not taking care of things they need to...hmmmm....

although the 'hotel shower' reference once again leads me to that subject which shall not be named ;)

"Silver phone Connect us to someone Who doesn't know About these feelings we can't control"

This just reminds me of the fact that when you're in a sexual relationship with someone...when you're around other people (parents, friends, etc) you keep that part of yourself hidden...we don't like to acknowledge that part of ourselves when others are around

I think the rest of the parts of the song have to do with the idea that their relationship is invincible...a naive feeling that I think occurs all too often.

Great song!
