This song describes all the sacrifices that Keaton is willing to make for his love. However, the contradictions in the lyrics show that he is simply reaching for the unobtainable.
[Verse 1]
I will tear the
Eyes from my gray head
To see you
Tired, empty
I will bite my tongue
To taste you
[Verse 2]
And I will shed my skin
Oh, to let you in
So lay down
Your guns for me
I'm only temporary
[Verse 3]
I will tear the
Fingers from my hands
To feel you
Like a suitcase
I will fold my spine
And leave you
[Verse 4]
And I will leave no cores
And all my restless thoughts
Inside for you to forget
Oh, I got caught again
