Doctor
Emily Kinney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh I wish I was a doctor who could heal your broken heart
Analyze each bruise and hear your story from the start
And stitch up every tie nigh tear
With a ribbon and a bow
Just grab you some new medicine
No I am not a doctor
Just an ordinary girl
An all the way you chest aches
The way your head swirls
And a bonded beat and broken down
By the one who knew you best
I was sleeping when he cut my veins
The knew only life away
No I am not a doctor
But I've got some extra time
I've got some drugs
I keep in the stock called vodka and red wine
We both know that your not gonna sleep tonight
I am not a doctor
But maybe you could let me try
So i put my hand against your head
I recommend that you stay in bed
Your temperature is getting pretty high
Well I hope your ready to pit your drink on ice
No ill never be a doctor
I hated science class
My parents liked to say how I picked up new skills fast
Yet we both got kicked out but we have talents to discover
So lets buckle down get to work
Help you recover
So i put my hand against your head
I recommend that you stay in bed
Your temperature is getting pretty high
Help them get dressed
To put your drink on ice
I could be the doctor you could be the patient
Instead of operation
Built to any temptation
There were things she wouldn't do
Baby boy this night
Its all about you
Uh,uh,uh,uh,Huh,huh,huh, Uh,uh,uh,uh, Huh,huh,huh...
Get better soon

Oh I wish I was a doctor who could heal your broken heart
Expressing the desire to heal someone's emotional pain
Analyze each bruise and hear your story from the start
Wanting to understand the cause of the pain and empathize
And stitch up every tie nigh tear
Fixing every break and repairing the relationship
With a ribbon and a bow
Making the healing process beautiful and special
Just grab you some new medicine
Finding new ways to help and make someone feel less alone
That makes you feel less alone
Making someone feel less isolated and supported
No I am not a doctor
Acknowledging the inability to literally heal but still wanting to help
Just an ordinary girl
Being humble and not pretending to have all the answers
An all the way you chest aches
Feeling the pain and wanting to help alleviate it
The way your head swirls
Feeling the emotional turmoil and cognitive dissonance
And a bonded beat and broken down
Being emotionally connected but currently unable to provide support
By the one who knew you best
Being betrayed or hurt by someone close
I was sleeping when he cut my veins
Being completely blindsided by the betrayal or pain
The knew only life away
Being lost and unsure what to do next
But I've got some extra time
Being available and willing to help in any way possible
I've got some drugs
Having coping mechanisms or distractions to help alleviate pain
I keep in the stock called vodka and red wine
Using alcohol as a temporary way to cope
We both know that your not gonna sleep tonight
Acknowledging the insomnia and wanting to help
But maybe you could let me try
Asking for permission to try and help
So i put my hand against your head
Providing comfort and nurturing
I recommend that you stay in bed
Advising to encourage rest and healing
Your temperature is getting pretty high
Noticing physical symptoms and trying to help alleviate them
Well I hope your ready to pit your drink on ice
Preparing to help with coping mechanisms like alcohol
I hated science class
Expressing a disinterest or lack of expertise
My parents liked to say how I picked up new skills fast
Acknowledging potential but not being interested in pursuing that path
Yet we both got kicked out but we have talents to discover
Not being held back by not following a traditional path and discovering new abilities
So lets buckle down get to work
Being motivated to find a solution and help
Help them get dressed
Providing assistance in basic tasks
I could be the doctor you could be the patient
Role-playing and imagining the healing process
Instead of operation
Trying a different approach
Built to any temptation
Resisting the urge to indulge in unhealthy coping mechanisms
There were things she wouldn't do
Knowing limits and boundaries for both self and others
Baby boy this night
Emphasizing the focus on the person in pain
Its all about you
Giving full attention and care to the person in pain
Get better soon
Wishing for healing and recovery
