The song is about how a woman leaves a man life, and as the woman walks out of his life, he is hoping he can somehow get the woman back, by whatever means
Pack up your shit, we're through
Prepare for black and blue
She slams the door, out into the night she flew
Maybe you'll shut the fuck up
Well, it's late and that's quite enough
But I scan the streets, and I scream off the balcony for you
Love
Drown myself, it's just as well
Throw my body in the wishing well
Falling apart, spellbound, scheming for you
I'll crawl to the corner store
Courage makes me want you more
I'm fixing my mind but I'm fucking it up
For you
For you
It's all for you
It's all for you
Pack up your shit, we're through
Prepare for black and blue
She slams the door, out into the night she flew
Love, love, love
