Send "Scissor Paper Rock" Ringtone to Cell

If you're seeking repair,
For figure rights in the ice in your stare.
Seven stories we're climbing tonight.
So if you're angry about the fact that it's red
I'll surrender I'll change it to white.

Sneaking looks at you sleeping around,
At you grass stained and drunk on the ground.
So we're taking you down with the scissor, paper, rock again.

    General Comment:i reckon that the line about the colours is maybe a reference to a girl being on her period and a man desperately wanting sex, so he wishes she would change it from red to white! This would also explain him sneaking looks and sleeping around with other girls as well as getting drunk and lying on the grounds, to take his mind off his urges perhaps!

    General Comment:I feel like it's about someone seeing how low another person they care about has sunk...and they stay because they love/care about them, but at the same time they're kind of annoyed, so mebbe they get into lots of arguments and that's where the genius thing with the colors comes in...haha, ap0theosize, i thought that was great too :-). Since it angers them that the singer wants them to change they're like, oookay ookay, just nevermind...uggg...the idea sounds better in my head, hahaha....idk..

    I realllllly love this song! :-) Bury me in AIH and I'llll die happy!

    General Comment:i think.. red. is a big color sign. red = angry. and he's angry. she wants him to be happy, she will change t make him happy. she misses him. he's playing games with her hence scissor paper rock. the story's they climb is the hardships they go through. uhmm.. figure eights for rolling of eyes? i have NO clue. just guessing. blindly. who knows. maybe scissor paper rock means she's going to murder him. with a scissor. and a rock. and a little bit of paper. hahaha.
