First off...love this song. One of BSS's best and one of my faves. I've had the fortune of seeing them live a couple of times.
Secondly - many incorrect lyrics above but I'm not going to point them out directly.
It's about an affair between a married or at least committed man (I'll say married to keep it simple) and a single woman who wants to keep it an affair - she's all for him having a wife ("I told you you'd make it, I'm all for another") and a man who wants to leave his wife and marry her ("we'd look better if we wed.")
The first lyrics are inaudible and no one has it correct. I can't figure it out either. But "little kingdoms in your chest" is eluding to her using this affair to escape something else. In other words, shaping life the way she wants it to be, not the way it is. It's also putting the relationship in distress.
"I've been getting calls now about this" and "on their mouths and chest". People are figuring it out and talking about the affair. It's getting back to him. He wants to do what he thinks is right and leave his wife. He feels, maybe paranoia is setting in, that someone is going to tell his wife soon.
"Help this love before you leave". He's practically begging her to marry him. Her "demonstrations lack caress". She's falling out of lust with him. She just wants to "call on for life". Not actually be committed but get together when she needs him...and she was willing to keep it the way for life.
"Thank you for creating souls". Now he is starting to lose his mind. He's saying anything to keep her - like You create souls, you're better than me, better than men - which leads to "Children sleep with dicks". Again, he's praising her and all women, a last attempt to try to be with her - men just have to stick their dick in a woman, near the womb, where an unborn child sleeps - while women "create" life.
"The you con keeps me up all night". He's losing sleep, having a breakdown, and feels he's been conned by her. The you con. Brilliant lyrics.
"Complication sees your best". She thrives on things being complicated. At least from his viewpoint. It's more complicated and distressing on him because he's deceiving his wife. She really doesn't feel bad or feel like it's complicated. He's totally losing it.
"Told you, I want it here longer, for you". From the beginning he knew she preferred that it stay this way and at first he agreed. She's basically saying You knew what you were getting into and you were OK with it at the start.
"I waited, I waited, it's late night, she's waiting at home". Not sure why she waited. Maybe he was out pondering things and got to her place late. Nevertheless, she's telling him to go home to his wife who is waiting for him at home.
"We've got love and hate, it's the only way". They've probably been going through this for a while and she's saying breaking it off is the only way - not love and hate is the only way to keep it together.
"I think it's almost crimes". Obviously what they're doing is wrong but they seem to have different opinions about why it's "almost crime's".
"I think it's almost time". Basically, this relationship is near or at its end.
