The entire song is written by the perspective of what’s passing by the thoughts of the narrator and by what he’s seeing.
[Verse 1]
Hat of greens shows symmetry
In front of hat, alone, sits me
Fourth day
I don't want it anyway
To be reliving
It won't be that bad again because
It can't amount in comparison
(I should intimidate you as you should intimidate yourself!)
[Verse 2]
Thirty minutes of make-up
For all to see but you
Are not what I want you to be
Universal there
At three AM on the first of a year
When it started, I'm not sure
In a jumper, with a bracelet
In a jumper, with a bracelet
On your right wrist
That turns with a golden knob
Opening amidst a dense yellow light, fade
To reveal an infinite sky
[Bridge]
(And juxtaposed to the accelerating swell of the musical score pushes it's audience to realize just what is ahead: the characters' fear and the physical manifestation of their hopes and dreams coming closer and closer and closer and closer and closer and closer and
Kiss me!)
[Verse 3]
My dad says things that make me laugh
He meows Tom Petty songs and that's why I stay
Unlike running water, can't run away
There are more here than merely bodies
Things without fear of surrounding me
Branches to catch me falling
Perhaps someone who understands
[Verse 4]
That when I say I'm sad I mean it
That there is no excuse, I need this
What I said about hat of greens
Has led me to see that my superimposition of a face
Upon a poster on its way
Arriving any day, that will accompany me every night
In a welcoming of rest
Tacked onto the drywall surrounding me
Will probably return me to this fading
The sky being a bedroom
"Kiss me!"
But I don't want to
[Instrumental]
