This is another one of those songs I fell in love with the first time I heard it. I love the slightly twisted 60’s style girl-group feel, I love the drums, and I think it’s just a great song.
The song itself is about–I think, feel free to correct me–a man pressuring a woman to either have sex with him or fall in love with him, or possibly both. I cannot say for sure either way, but I still love the song.
And of course, the lyrics:
She
Colourblind, tired eyes
Her
Hallway, aching
She’ll never move him
Likes it that way
He’s just a walker
And he’ll
Never stop walking away
“It’s not too soon,” he said
“It’s not too soon at all,”
“You might as well be dead,” he said
“If you’re afraid to fall,”
I said:
“I know her…”
She said:
“Why do you stare so hard?
Wrapped up like a doll
In bad dreams and broken arms
Make these old bones shiver,”
“It’s not too soon,” he said
“It’s not too soon at all,”
“You might as well be dead,” he said
“If you’re afraid to fall,”
I said:
“I know her…”
The last time I saw you
You were standing in the dark
And with a freezing face
I watched you fall apart
“It’s not too soon,” he said
“It’s not too soon at all,”
“You might as well be dead,” he said
“If you’re afraid to fall,”
I said:
“Done your time, been in your place
I couldn’t look you in the face
And tell you that it turns me on
It makes my stomach turn!
I know I know her…”
