So, for an alternative interpretation, and I’m sure there are some guys and girls here that can relate(for us guys, the pronouns stay the same):
Remember in high school, when your best friend was your world. And one day you maybe went a little too far
“Devils roll the dice, Angels roll their eyes
What doesn’t kill me makes me want you more”
And you go for it...
“It’s new, the shape of your body
It’s blue, the way that I’m feeling”
All of a sudden you see what people sing about in love songs, and you GET how being intimate with someone can feel. But...
You tried to be chill about it, but your head is swimming in feelings, hormones, and repressed notions.
“It’s cool, that’s what I tell him, no rules”
But it feels so good, so right. You can’t understand why something you’ve been taught your entire life was wrong... why it feels so natural.
“Unbreakable heaven”
And it keeps going, your feelings growing stronger, terrified that this is just a phase for them, but maybe forever for you. Scared to even bring it up. But it finally bursts.
“I’m drunk in the back of the car
And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar”
You feel yourself about to burst
“Said I’m fine but it wasn’t true”
And here it comes like fucking word vomit...
“I don’t wanna keep secrets just to keep you!”
Remembering how it’s gotten this far
“Snuck in through the garden gate
Every night that summer just to seal my fate”
And you finally say it. What you never thought you’d feel about this person, but it’s happening.
“I scream for whatever it’s worth
I LOVE YOU
ain’t that the worst thing you ever heard”
Fuck, you’ve done it now. It’s out...
“HE LOOKS UP GRINNING LIKE A DEVIL”
The happy ending all of us wished for, but probably never got.
“It’s a cruel summer”
