Hey Lover
Mini Mansions Lyrics

Hey lover
Addressing the lover

I could be like any other
Acknowledging that they could pretend to be like any other person but chooses not to

And if another
Referring to someone else

Tries to come and blow my cover
If someone tries to expose the true identity

You would mutter
The lover would curse at that person

Hey fucker
The lover would use profanity to address that person

There could be no any other
There's nobody else like the lover's partner

Than my lover
Indicating that no one can replace the lover's partner

He's my one and only other
Referring to the lover's partner as the only significant other

Right lover?
Asking for confirmation from the lover's partner

Yeah baby
The lover's partner confirms

You could drive me fucking crazy
The lover's partner can make them go insane

With your waist, see
The lover's partner's waist is alluring

I'm a sucker and I crave thee
Accepting that they have a weakness for the lover's partner

Am I crazy?
Asking if it's irrational to feel this way

No honey
The lover's partner reassures them that it's not crazy

I will give you all my money
Promising to give their partner everything they have

Ain't it funny
Sarcastically pointing out the irony of giving up everything for love

That it seems nothing but scummy
Realizing that this might be perceived as shameful

Compared to your honey
Acknowledging that their partner is worth more than any material possession

If this is the end
Expressing doubt about whether they should continue the relationship

How can we be sure
Questioning the certainty of everlasting love

That we found out everlasting love?
Wondering if they truly found eternal love

The things that we said
Reflecting on the words they exchanged

Have flown out the door
The promises they made have not been kept

Don't you know we've done this all before?
Bringing up the fact that they've been through this cycle before

Now we're crying
Both parties are emotional and upset

Hey lover
Addressing the lover again

I could be your one and only
Offering to be the lover's one and only significant other

If you're lonely
If the lover is feeling alone

All you've got to do is hold me
Asking the lover to hold them

Listen closely
Asking for the lover's undivided attention

Oh darling
Using pet names to show affection

Every touch is so disarming
Being affected by the lover's every touch

Is it charming
Asking if it's attractive

That I find you quite alarming
Admitting that they find the lover's overwhelming effect on them alarming

Would you haunt me?
Asking if the lover would stick around forever

No never
Reassuring that they would never leave

You're the one true thing I treasure
Considering the lover as the most valuable thing they have

And I'd never
Promising not to do something

Do a damn thing that would sever
Promising not to do anything to break the bond between them

Our forever
The idea of being together permanently

And momma
Changing the addressee to the mother

I been fucked up, so unstable
Admitting to being unstable and struggling with problems

And unable
Acknowledging the difficulties they face

To get up and turn the tables
Being unable to change their situation

This time fable
Focusing on the idea of everlasting love being a story or legend

We can't pretend
Realizing that they can't keep pretending things are okay

No not anymore
No longer able to continue as usual

Don't know how we've wasted
Feeling unsure about how they've spent their time together

All our love
Referring to the amount of love they shared

But now as in then
Recognizing that they've been through this before

We've been here before
Having experienced similar problems in the past

On our way to everlasting love
Reminding themselves that they are still on the path to finding true love

Now we're crying
Feeling emotional again

All the nights that we've spent talking
Remembering the conversations they had in the past

Kept me up for days
Those conversations were so important that they couldn't sleep

Scream and shout until you have me, crying
Referring to an intense argument that left someone crying

Don't look back girl, just keep walking
Encouraging someone to keep moving forward and not to dwell on the past

I can take the pain
Being able to endure emotional pain

[?] 'cause now you've got me
Ending the song on a somewhat unclear note

Crying, crying
Repeating the chorus to show that they are still emotionally upset

Crying, crying
Continuing to emphasize their sorrow
