i always thought it was a conversation, where vic plays the girl (the 3 choruses plus the one line, "i'm such an animal"), and johnny plays the guy (the 2 verses plus the one line, "and baby honestly these teeth won't let you go")
girl: "if you're gonna call me at all, then don't call me ordinary; don't think you'll find someone like me just anywhere you look; that girl won't be passing you. please don't leave. are you even listening to everything i've said? are you thinking about what you're going to lose?"
guy: "sh... don't talk, just be happy. let's just enjoy the moment and enjoy our time together while it lasts. don't talk, just ride. why would i not want to have you? i'm only trying to work this out too... i'm not trying to hurt you. i'm just trying to figure it out too."
girl: (repeats chorus, trying to tell him again why he shouldn't leave)
guy: "i hear you breathing on the line..."
[when you can't be together, you substitute your time together with time on the phone. you tend to fall asleep together on the phone, sometimes listen to each other breathe, and even wake up on the phone the next morning. or, ok, maybe they're just talking on the phone and she's crying or something.]
guy (continues): "i'm not your type. i love you and i know you love me, and i don't ever try to hurt you, but somehow i always do end up hurting you every night. i won't be coming back; you won't have to hurt anymore. but for now though... just ride."
guy (continues): "who wouldn't let you scream ohh into a soft pillow?"
girl: "i'm such an animal..."
guy: "and baby honestly these teeth won't let you go..."
girl: (repeats chorus, trying to tell him again why he shouldn't leave)
relationships are tough. most of time, neither means to hurt the other, but both feel like the other isn't trying hard enough. and neither party understands why things are turning out the way they are. for example, often the girl thinks, "if he loves me enough, then why won't he do/change/sacrifice ____ for me?" and the guy thinks, "why isn't she ever happy with the way i show her that i love and care?" the girl might say, "why don't you ever care about me?" the guy thinks, "what? i sacrifice so much of my priorities to try and show her that i care. nothing is ever appreciated." the girl thinks, "it's sosimple, why can't he just do it for my happiness?" the guy thinks, "it's not as simple as she thinks! the simplest things to her are the hardest things for me to think of and act on. i'm trying my best. maybe i'm just not the right one for her." and the girl continues to think, "if he loved me enough, he would change."
being a guy though, this is definitely a biased interpretation. props to any girls that agree though ;^)
I completely see what you mean. It's actually a lot like the situation I'm going through but just a bit different on the girl part. Anyways I like your interpretation. It's really origional.

This has gave me a whole new perspective on the song rather it just being about sex.. this actually made me love the song even more. I agree 100% and think what you wrote was perfect. It also goes good with the series "After." Also you being a guy and thinking that up just made it even more enjoyable. Good job :)
