Mine / Yours – Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why must I feel numb, done what I’ve done
I’ve taken my cues, what I’m supposed to do
Now here’s the issue, the narrative stew
When I hold the pen, it’s throttling you

Explanation of Verse 1
The songster begins by expressing a sense of impassiveness, conceivably related to their conduct and the prospects placed on them. The citation of holding the pen” strangling you” suggests a struggle with communication or expressing oneself. There is a hint of frustration or conflict in the narrative.

[Verse 2]
You never liked me when drunk
I start to believe you never liked me at all
So I agree, and I’ll say “Fuck you”
‘Cause I know if I don’t, I’ll probably say
Something stupid and true

Explanation of Verse 2
The lyrics describe a perception that the other person noway liked the songster, especially when they’re drunk. The decision to agree and say” Fuck you” implies a defiance or acceptance of a simulated relationship. The fear of saying commodity” stupid and true” suggests a fear of vulnerability or honesty.

[Verse 3]
I stand just out of reach of your fist
And take myself away again, pretty slim
And dance around the subject of figure of eight
Describe all the parts of me I’m yet to break

Explanation of Verse 3
The songster describes standing just out of reach of a physical trouble and choosing to distance themselves. The reference to dancing around the subject of a” figure of eight” and describing corridor of themselves yet to break indicates a tone-defensive station and a amenability to avoid certain competitions.

[Refrain]
Count all the parts of me I’m yet to break
Count all the parts of me I’m yet to break you

Explanation of Refrain
The reiteration of” Count all the corridor of me I am yet to break” reinforces a theme of tone- mindfulness and acknowledgment of particular vulnerabilities.

[Verse 4]
Kiss me like it was your job
So tender and carefully, teeth before tongue (I wanna be yours)
Not in the way that the romantics do (I wanna be yours)
But with the grace of a workplace and child dispute

Explanation of Verse 4
The lyrics shift to a different tone, describing a desire for a kiss with tenderheartedness and care. The citation of teeth before lingo and the comparison to a plant and child disagreement add layers of complexity to the romantic imagery.

[Bridge]
You know, I don’t need much more
But wanna be mine, wanna be yours
You know, I don’t need much more
I wanna be mine, wanna be yours

Explanation of Bridge
The ground suggests a simple desire for connection and acceptance, expressed through the lines” You know, I do not need much further I wan na be mine, wan na be yours.”

[Outro]
I take you for granted
Because the alternative’s far more alarming
