There is an incorrect line after the first two verses...
It should be:
Lights out til midnight
Sleep all day
Also, the last part of the lyrics are wrrrrroooong.
I've gotta move through the days without you here
I get a shock, shock hurts to heal
I've gotta move through the weeks without you here
I get a shock, shock hurts to heal
I've gotta move through the months without you here
I get a shock, shock hurts to heal
I've gotta move through the weeks without you here,
I get a shock, shock hurts to heal
I've gotta move through the weeks without you here
I get a shock, shock hurts to heal
Shock, shock hurts to heal
Hurts to heal
Hurts to heal
Hurts to heal
ETC.
Half of me thinks this is just a dirge, of sorts, mourning the death of someone (as publicized, her father) but i also think there are parts that could prove to be about suicide? the stanza that talks about leaving for a place from another time, just to be near to the person who has died is the most specific example, but the next part, which says "i'm in the way, i'm in the way..." says that there are parts of her that aren't able to submit to suicide, so she's in the way of her own suicide, and then she goes on to convince herself that suicide is not an answer and that the world she's tried to create for herself, one of risk and chance and truly living, is a better place. do, despite her pain and mourning and depression, she just moves on anyway, and deals with the pain of healing and recovering from the death of someone very dear to her.
if this makes no sense, i apologize. i'm drunk.
at any rate, its a beautiful song, and the break down at the end gets me every time. love it.
