You're a canary, I'm a coal mine
(pretty self explanitory, he's slowly suffocating her).
'Cause sorrow is just all the rage
(but she's letting him, because she wants to feel something/ for attention).
Take one for the team, You all know what I mean
(bit iffy with this one, but to me the 'team' represents girls and how they sort of don't do the whole manwhore relationship thing, but he's asking her to please just do it).
And I'm so sorry, but not really
Tell the boys where to find my body
(he's not really sorry that he's like this, but he's either trying to be or putting it on. And he's pretty much screwed, because this is geting to him).
New York eyes, Chicago thighs
Pushed up the window to kiss you, off
(somehow i imagine the window as saying goodbye, like you know how you wave from a window in an airport or whatever? But he's not letting her, as new york eyes, chicago thighs is obviously himself. She's trying to go, but he's seducing her again. And dude, who could resist?)
The truth hurts worse than anything
I could bring myself to do, to you.
(the truth that she succumbed, is worse than him telling everyone or whatever bad things he can do to exploit this. But he's still fighting with himself, hence the "anything I could bring myself to do".)
Do you remember the way
I held your hand under the lamp post and ran home?
This way, so many times I could close my eyes
(again, he's conflicted . he held her hand, but ran. Yet he remembers it later on.)
I dunno. I have a weird outlook, but to me this seems like a manwhore (in a good way. like knows he's really very hot way) being conflicted with this girl who is pretty much suffocting because he's reverting to his tempting manwhorish ways to get her to stay, but she's starting to mean something. And he's a little confused as to what she really wants from him.
