Dude, I've been waiting for the lyrics for this for so long. Thanks so much!

I'm thinking that he's talking about how the girl he likes/loves is like an angel.

I can't believe everyone really dropped the ball on this song.

THEY'RE HAVING SEX!

THEY'RE HAVING SEX!

THEY'RE HAVING SEX!

Seriously. Did you guys miss that?

You cool your bed-warm hands down on the broken radiator, (She comes in to him sleeping... maybe she went to the bathroom.) And when you lay them freezing on me, I mumble "can you wake me later?" (She wants some action. It's cold, though. He's sleepy. Wake me later.) But I don't really want you to stop and you know it so it doesn't stop you (But she knows he wants it. Duhh. Who wouldn't. She's probably hot.) And run...

Ha ha ha. Thanks for that. "Talking about how [she] is like an angel." Pfft.

I disagree with you about the "happy lust in your hair" thing though. I think that's a bit too lewd for Gary. But hey, that's just an opinion, it's your right to interpret this song however you want.

i don't think he's talking about them actually having sex i think its about the morning after....
