Glycerine

Heard this song driving in the car with my man, and we both had the urge to pump up the volume:

It must be your skin I'm sinking in

Must be for real 'cause now I can feel

And I didn't mind, it's not my kind

It's not my time to wonder why

Everything's gone white and everything's gray

Now you're here, now you're away

I don't want this, remember that

I'll never forget where you're at

Don't let the days go by, Glycerine, Glycerine

I don't know why this song is called Glycerine, or what that means, but I do know that its overall message really resonates with me, which I basically take to be regret about one's own behavior after a break-up, with a little vitriol about the other person's behavior thrown in for good measure. After all, it takes two, baby!

I'm never alone, I'm alone all the time

Are you at one or do you lie

We live in a wheel where everyone steals

But when we rise, it's like strawberry fields

If I treated you bad, you bruise my face

Couldn't love you more, you got a beautiful taste

Don't let the days go by

Could have been easier on you

I couldn't change though I wanted to

Should have been easier by three

Our old friend 'Fear' and you and me

Glycerine, Glycerine

Don't let the days go by, Glycerine

Don't let the days go by, Glycerine, Glycerine

Glycerine, Glycerine

Bad mood whine again

Bad mood whine again

As she falls around me

I needed you more when we wanted us less

I could not kiss, just regress

It might just be clear, simple and plain

Well, that's just fine, that's just one of my names

Don't let the days go by

Could have been easier on you, you, you...
