Purity Ring is one of those artists where every time you hear the album you find a new song to get obsessed with. First it was belispeak, then obedear, then lofticries and now it's grandloves.
I don't know about meaning, but I think (to me) it's these two people that are so utterly in love with each other, but neither tells the other and it's hurting them both.
i think it is unrequited love, the girl is trying to hide her feelings and wants him to guess at the right thing to do to win her over, he has these preconceived ideas of how it should go and doesnt get that women think differently, he thinks it should just be easy...but hes nervous in spite of his fantasy...she says she is not going to finish what she started because she expects him to be the man and take her...to intuit her...he loves her, but he thinks it should be straight forward in a typical guy way, truth over...
