This song is Judas Iscariot singing to Jesus.
The first verse discusses The Last Supper:
We ate the food, we drank the wine
Everybody having a good time except you
You were talking about the end of the world
The second is Judas’s betrayal of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane:
In the garden I was...
[Verse 1]
Haven't seen you in quite a while
I was down the hold, just passing time
Last time we met it was a low-lit room
We were as close together as a bride and groom
We ate the food, we drank the wine
Everybody having a good time
Except you
You were talking about the end of the world
[Verse 2]
I took the money, I spiked your drink
You miss too much these days if you stop to think
You led me on with those innocent eyes
You know I love the element of surprise
In the garden I was playing the tart
I kissed your lips and broke your heart
You, you were acting like it was the end of the world
[Verse 3]
In my dream, I was drowning sorrows
But my sorrows they'd learned to swim
Surrounding me, going down on me
Spilling over the brim
Waves of regret and waves of joy
I reached out for the one I tried to destroy
You, you said you'd wait till the end of the world
[Outro]
Love, love, love, love love love
Love, love, love, love love love
Love, love, love, love love love
