I think this song is about losing someone who had comforted you once so simply but then it all became complex and confusing; making the vision of themselves changed
I used to look at you
Like a fireplace in a living room
I was the tired face lying next to you
How are you?
Now I have different words when I talk to you
And different faces to look at you
Some are tidal waves, some are
"How are you, I miss you"
But I don't wanna think about it at all
(I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't)
I don't wanna think about it at all
(I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't)
I don't, ohh oh ohh
I don't, ohh oh ohh
I don't, ohh oh ohh
I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, oh
I used to think of death as staying the same
But I used to look at you without feeling this way
Your mom's phone call felt like a get-well card
I think it's my fault
I don't wanna think about it at all
(I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't)
I don't wanna think about it at all
(I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't)
