Melt Your Heart Lyrics

Cover art for Melt Your Heart lyrics by Jenny Lewis

I don't think it's so much about her experience itself. If anything, I think she's come to understand that everything was not the way she expected it to be.

"It's bound to melt your heart / One way or another" Or "Are we killing time? / Are we killing each other?"

I think the whole song by admitting that there's another side it could refer to shows her struggle. For example, she thought that sleeping with someone would be lovely, enjoyable, sexually exciting or whatever you might interpret it as. But you can just see yourself, or I do, laying in bed at the ceiling as my partner lays dead asleep... Wandering, thinking, hating myself in the morning knowing that it was an entire mistake.

It's about acting and doing and then thinking.. Regretting it.
