Cover art for Sheets lyrics by Tegan and Sara

i love this song and just by some of the words/lyrics it's kinda obvious sara is a little obbsessed. "i promise i won't push my face up against your clothes or the stupid sheets" "i want your things like i want your face"

Actually it sounds to me like she's breaking up with her. She's promising herself that she won't get sentimental after they've broken up.
