This song is beautiful. It seems to be a metaphor for not wondering about the (dark) past of another but simply accepting who they are now with love and respect.
I had a thought, dear
However scary
It's the Intro, he's had a thought, where had this person trying to love him come from?
About that night
The bugs and the dirt
Why were you digging?
What did you bury
Before those hands pulled me
From the earth?
This night, the one where she starts to love him, that night, the bugs and dirt go with the theme of burying and earth, what love has she just buried, said goodbye to?
My favourite line, 'before those hands pulled me from the earth' says how he felt dead and buried without a love, but has been pulled from the earth by those hands, her hands, and brought to life.
I will not ask you where you came from
I will not ask and neither should you
He's realizing he shouldn't ask from where did she come from, better yet, from what she has come from, and neither should she ask him.
Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips
We should just kiss like real people do
He's saying, just give up, don't ask question, just love, and they should just kiss like real people do, real people with love and without these worries.
I knew that look dear
Eyes always seeking
Was there in someone
That dug long ago
He knows that look, of someone trying to figure out a person, always seeking to know them and their past, he knows, for he's seen it too, in past lovers and himself.
So I will not ask you
Why you were creeping
In some sad way I already know
So, he won't ask why she's had this look, and never truly felt safe, always creeping, looking around, because in such a sad way, he already knows. Other people can have a past too.
So I will not ask you where you came from
I would not ask and neither would you
Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips
We should just kiss like real people do
I could not ask you where you came from
I could not ask and neither could you
Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips
We could just kiss like real people do
If you noticed, the chorus has changed from 'I will not ask' to 'I would not' to 'I could not'. The last being the largest change, he's gone from just not doing something to being unable to do it, because it could taint a love.
