This song is about love, about relationships; about life and its disjointed, fractured, fluid and ever-changing nature – and, through it all, wanting and striving for a good outcome.
[Verse 1]
9:09
You gonna call it or am I?
One more time
This puppy love is out of line
One more slide
And then we're back to real life
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, and I'm falling now but it's so wrong

You just want backstreets, you don't want me
You just gonna hate it all the way
You just want backstreets, you don't want me
You just gonna hate it all the way
[Outro]
Hello, who is this? Hello?
Are you watching TV?
Say, "Bye-bye"
Bye-bye

For the Independent:
It’s meant to be vague enough that you interpret it as a relationship, those awkward fumblings at the beginning,” he says. “That reflects so much on life in general. No one has any bloody idea what they’re doing. [The song] starts with timidness and insecurity, and the end is s...
