This song was the 12th and final song off Alkaline Trio’s fourth studio album “Good Mourning” (they’re second album on Vagrant Records).
The song is simple in it’s recording, the only instruments being Skiba’s vocals and an acoustic guitar.
The reigning interpretation of the song is that it deals...
It's about time that I came clean with you
No longer fine, I'm no longer running smooth
I thought that I found myself under something new
Just one more line I repeat over and over again
'Till I'm blue in the face with a choking regret
As I talk in circles 'round you on my bed
Can't say I blame you one bit when you kept it all inside
When you left that night
It's about time that you got sick of me
No longer fun, and so far from interesting
I thought that I found me a cure for feeling old
Just one more line to keep me sleeping loudly and cold
In disgrace with a shameful regret
As I talk in tongues to myself in my bed
Can't say I blame you one bit when you kept it all inside
When you left that night
And all that followed fell like mercury to hell
Somehow we lost our heads for the last time
And all that followed fell like mercury to hell
Somehow we lost our heads for the last time
And I don't dream since I quit sleeping
And I haven't slept since I met you
And you can't breathe without coughing at daytime
Neither can I
So what do you say?
Your coffin, or mine?
