I hear "Here's the only thing..." instead of "it's the only thing"
and "In the darkness, dance to the dial tone" instead of "dares"..
something else is being said around "alone"...is it even alone? haha sometimes her lyrics are so hard to decipher.
i don't think it's about a break-up per se. i think it's about not being able to be in a relationship because of her life on the road as a musician. the call sounds like it's coming from a guy she had feelings for, but he can't reciprocate because he's paranoid about the things she does on the road, the partying, etc.
reflecting on this, she tries to deny her pain, claiming he wasn't that great anyway. yet, she admits that she loved him like they were together, although all she has are the dreams of what they could have had.
the thing that gets her by, that she cherishes like a secret weapon, is that although she's going through these personal struggles (though it always rains), people can relate to the heartbreak in her songs and that may help heal their wounds (a billion hearts stop bleeding).
the last verse kills me. "i party all the time, yeah i know how to kill, but i hate how it feels that everyone's in love with someone else."
i know, as a young single gal myself, that exact feeling. you spend a lot of time partying, drinking, having fun. but sometimes at the end of the night, you can't escape that horrible feeling of going home alone to no one, and it seems like everyone is in love with someone else.
