"I think I know what's on your mind
A couple words, a great divide "
(You dont want to do this, you're going to say a few words that will push me away)
"Even though you're the only one I see
It's the last catastrophe
Place your bets on chance and apathy"
(I love you but this is the last time I can take a chance on love. This person has been hurt in the past.)
"Take anything you want, it's fine
Keep up the slow life for the night"
(Ill give you anything if we can have one more night together)
This person is in love and is willing to make one final chance at love with someone but this person is a bit worried that the person they love will slip away.
