As with many of the tracks on Songs in Red and Gray this echoes the break-up of a relationship; specifically this is about broken communication.
[Chorus]
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
[Verse 1]
If I were a weapon
You said I'd be a gun
Lethal at close range, I guess
With silencer and stun
I feel more like a needle
Always pulling on the thread
Always making the same point again
And wondering if you heard what I just said
[Verse 2]
If you were a weapon
A hammer's what you'd be
Blunt and heavy at the end
And coming down on me
I've concealed a weapon
Like a pocket knife attack
All folded up inside until you see the shine
And then you'll want it back
[Chorus]
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
[Bridge]
I've concealed a weapon
Like a pocket knife attack
All folded up inside until you see the shine
And then you'll want it back
Ooh, ooh ah
Ooh, ooh ah
[Verse 3]
If I were a weapon
You said I'd be a gun
Lethal at close range, I guess
With silencer and stun
If I am that weapon
I am pointing now at you
So just put down the hostage and we'll talk it down
Until we see this through
Ooh, ooh ah
Ooh
Talk it down until we see this through
[Chorus]
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
