Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's like a hiccup-cup come and it won't come-come
Soon as I think I'm bout to share my lovin'
That's when the hiccup's comin'
Why every time I try to tell you how it feel
It's like a hiccup-cup come and it won't come-come
Soon as I think I'm bout to share my lovin'
That's when the hiccup's comin'
You're like a cough on a rainy day
You know the kind that gives you chest pains, yeah
And just as things start to feel OK
Then here you come to break away
You love me hard and you squeeze me tight
You let me go then you pick a fight
You make me wanna scream, cry, and shout out-loud
Boy, you got me spinnin' round-and-round
Why every time I try to tell you how it feel
It's like a hiccup-cup come and it won't come-come
Soon as I think I'm bout to share my lovin'
That's when the hiccup's comin'
Why every time I try to tell you how it feel
It's like a hiccup-cup come and it won't come-come
Soon as I think I'm bout to share my lovin'

Sometimes I wanna just run and hide
But you just stand in my way
Why every time I try to tell you how it feel

In the song Hiccup, P!nk is expressing her frustration about not being able to communicate her feelings to her partner. She compares her struggles to conveying her emotions to a persistent hiccup, which keeps interrupting her attempts to share her thoughts. P!nk also describes the difficulties she faces in her relationship, specifically how her partner confuses her by showering her with love, only to push her away and start a fight. She admits that her thoughts become disorientated and jumbled whenever she is around him, and she just wants him to reassure her that things will be okay.
The metaphor of a hiccup is used throughout the song to represent the obstacles that P!nk experiences in her relationship, which prevent her from expressing her emotions freely. The sound of a hiccup is sudden and unexpected, just like how the barriers to communication can crop up unexpectedly in a relationship. The repeated chorus emphasizes P!nk's inability to express herself and highlights how this is causing frustration and confusion for her.
