This song took a whole new meaning to me last Monday, when my boyfriend broke up with me. Coincidentially enough, his name was Parker. This song was most certainly on repeat.
This song tells about a girl who was dating a boy named Parker that she really cared about, and vice versa. But things somehow got messed up in their relationship, and she said and did things she very much regretted. Once it ended, she got upset and didn't know how to handle her out of control emotions, so she cried and got angry, and that of course was the post-break up stress. That's what the first verse tells us.
The chorus goes on to show that she's trying to make him remember the way they used to be, and how great it was. She doesn't blame anyone for the breakup but herself.
In the next verse "sworn off blue lips" refers to her still wanting him, but she can't have him. And I think the "letters I rewrite explaining how to fall in love" shows her trying to figure out what love really is, and wondering if they were really in love, and trying to get him to fall for her once she can't get over him. I think the "We'll play stop and go, but it feels just like freeze tag" shows that things go from being good and bad and from blaming one to blaming the other, and just that everything is a mess.
"I'm naked once so don't think twice" is a line that I couldn't ever understand in the song, but I now interpret it as her exposing herself. Maybe she doesn't want him to turn back ("so don't think twice") now that he's hurt her so bad, because she can't trust him now.
I could go into detail about every line, but most of it is pretty self-explanatory.
Such a marvelous song, but so painful once it happens to you.
