This song depicts the highs and lows of an off-and-on relationship; the hot and cold nature of the connection, and the drug-like euphoria it brings.
The reference to “salley gardens” in the outro, appears to allude to a poem by Yeats- “Down by the Salley Gardens,” which conveys a very similar tone:...
[Verse 1]
I wish I didn't care like I do
It feels like I'm losing you too
I wish I didn't stare like I do
But I might be over you soon
[Verse 2]
I wish I didn't care like I do
It always brought me back to you too
I wish I didn't stare like I do
Can you send me someone new soon?
[Chorus]
Let's think it through
I'll still think of you
But I can't switch off and on like you do
I think it's something I need to work on
And if we're through
I'll still think of you
But I can't switch off and on like you do
We crash like smashed pianos
[Verse 3]
I wish I didn't care like I do
It feels like I'm losing you too
I wish I didn't stare like I do
But I might be over you soon
[Chorus]
Let's think it through
I'll still think of you
But I can't switch off and on like you do
I think it's something I need to work on
And if we're through
I'll still think of you
But I can't switch off and on like you do
We crash like smashed pianos
Let's think it through
I'll still think of you
But I can't switch off and on like you do
I think it's something I need to work on
And if we're through
I'll still think of you
But I can't switch off and on like you do
We crash like smashed pianos
[Outro]
In the room I found you
Fallen stars and tears I want you
Many mornings, salley gardens
Smashed pianos
Smashed pianos
Smashed pianos
Smashed pianos
