This song is about two men in love maintaining a relationship; however, due to several circumstances, they have to keep their relationship hidden. On one hand is the external forces of society, as indicated by the “worries [come] to perch on [them].” On the other is the narrator’s desire to keep his...
[Verse 1]
To bear it down, to be in flight
To bear it down, to be in flight
It wasn't about me, it was only a stone in my shoe
Then worries came to perch on us
Impatience and a painted bust
I kept you close to me, close to my ear
[Chorus]
We set out once with folded shirts
With hairy chest and all rehearsed
I want it all, I want it all for myself
I'll set it right between your eyes
Your shoulder blade, your running life
I want it all, I want it all for myself
[Verse 2]
Improving all the time, I am
Improving as I kiss the hem
I promise I won't be a trouble at all
For I'm okay, I'm in the red
Impressions of the unmade bed
You cradled close to me, close to my ear
[Chorus]
We set out once, forget our shirts
With hairy chests and well-rehearsed
I want it all, I want it all for myself
For in the earth I smell of you
A bathing boy, amazing view
I want it all, I want it all for myself
