Cover art for Bernadette lyrics by Arrah and the Ferns

"You are the only one that matters And the only one who knows Every inch of my perimeter From my fingers to my toes" I love this. Just complete comfort between the two, and love. Makes me think of two people laying in bed, naked and entangled, but it's not even sexual. They just want to know each other.

In general, I think it's about jumping the hurdle and not being afraid to be vulnerable with this person. The paranoia about pets and wondering if she'll be alive tomorrow might represent fear about fleeting nature of life and love.
