Somehow this turns out to be my favorite Lisa Hannigan song. There's something kind of eerie, even haunting about the sound of it..especially the beginning. As in every song of hers, Lisa's voice is beautiful and has this intimate quality.
The songs seems to be describing someone who is or was in a relationship with another person who was apparently indifferent to their relationship, maybe even insincere. She's frustrated over the fact that she was more dominant and much more emotionally involved. And so she realizes that she must "roll her heart up in her sleeve" to protect herself.
