Saying she hates her life is metaphorical for a baby crying and fussing in the middle of the night. I know I've got my problems and it's probably me "I got a nervous habit and I drink too muchĭon't you ever leave, Don't you ever leave He is comforted by her love and asks for her to always hold on to her perfect image of him. Rather, she loves him no matter what is happening because he is her father. He knows that he has issues but his daughter does not see the same flaws he sees. She saw something inside that I can’t seeĪnd late at night, yeah she'll comfort me "I know I’ve got my problems and it starts with me He could never let go of her despite how badly he treated I take this song to be more a ballad Derek wrote for his daughter. Even if she does, he will always love her. Or, the last verse could be him telling her he knows it's been his fault the whole time and he knows she'll leave him eventually because of it. So him "holding on to her" in the moment will have to be enough. The last verse is her saying she knows the relationship isn't healthy, and she knows he isn't going to stay faithful to her, but she would never be able to leave him because she loves him too much. The bridge is him admitting that he knows he won't stay faithful (I'm a drifter's body in an open sea) but that there's no place like "home" (her). I know we've got our problems and it's probably me") (Sometimes at night I can hear her dreams, I know I've got my problems and it's probably me") (She wakes in the night and whispers oh so quiet She starts taking the blame for things just so he'll stay and "hold on to her". She falls in love with him and gets scared that he's going to leave her or be unfaithful. (I know I've got my problems and it starts with meĪnd late at night, yeah, she'll comfort me)įrom then on it switches to what she's saying. The first verse is him saying he knows it all started because of his problems that she saw and wanted to "fix". It's about an unhealthy, dependent relationship.
My InterpretationPersonally I think most of this song is from the girl's perspective. I know we've got our problems and you'll probably leave With no place to go and you're left all alone
I know we've got our problems and it's probably meĪnd I've seen my reflection staring right back at me I stay up too late and it hurts to breathe She wakes in the night and whispers oh so quietĭon't you ever leave, don't you ever leaveĪnd though I've got my problems and it's probably me She said she hates her life and wants to change her ways I've got a nervous habit and I drink too much She saw something inside that I can't seeĪnd late at night, yeah, she'll comfort me I know I've got my problems and it starts with me
