A song written about a guy named Bill who had an interesting relationship with his girlfriend. They used to get drunk and beat the snot out of each other, the police usually would end up at the scene and then one, or both of them would go to jail. They always wound up back together a few days later. They'd have another party, get drunk and beat the snot out of each other again. Sounds kind of funny, and in a way, it is. But it's also sad. Sad that alot of people have such a twisted idea of what love means. In this case, it means possession. Bill and his girlfriend hated each other, but because of their own insecurities and fear, they would stay together and just put each other through Hell. I'll bet they're still together...And in jail.

Hey, talk to me
about everything that you don't
want me to see, don't want me to be
I'm looking all around me
and I'm catching onto all of those
pesky little slips of your tongue
Yeah, show to me
pictures of that fantasy life
inside your head
Can't make it quite real
baby, too real
For a little while
you said what you didn't want to say

All I need
is everything that you are
but you give nothing away
Needing all of what you are
you're giving nothing away
I want all of you that I can get
and just a little bit more

Grope in the dark
kneel at the door to my heart
plead to any chance there might be
to end this game, to die or be set free
Noone takes a thing without a price
This ain't a f***ing nursery rhyme
I can't afford to play it nice
The game is over, roll the dice

All I need is everything that you are
but you give nothing away
needing all of what you are
you're giving nothing away
I want all of you that I can get
and just a little bit more
