The moment I said it.
The moment I opened my mouth.
Let in your eye lids
Bulldoze the life out of me.
I know what you're thinking.
But darling you're not thinking straight.
Suddenly things just happened, we can't explain
It's not even light out but you've somewhere to be.
No hesitation no I've never seen you like this.
And I don't like it
I don't like it
I don't like it at all.
Just put back the car keys or somebody's gonna get hurt.
Who are you calling at this hour?
Sit down, come round, I need you now.
We'll work it all out, together.
But we're getting nowhere tonight.
Now sleep, I promise it'll all seem better somehow in time.
It's not even like that.
Suddenly oh, you've somewhere to be.
No hesitation oh, I've never seen you like this.
You're scaring me you're scaring me you're scaring me to death.
Don't oh (smash)
Please don't oh (I do, please, another one)
Don't oh (smash)
Please don't oh (I do, please, another one)
I'm losing you.
I'm losing you.
Trust me on this one.
I've got it bad for you.
Trust me on this one
You're gonna throw it all away
With no hesitation.
(Smash)
The moment I opened my mouth.

Bulldoze the life out of me.
I know what you're thinking.
But darling you're not thinking straight.

No hesitation no I've never seen you like this.
And I don't like it
I don't like it
I don't like it at all.
Just put back the car keys or somebody's gonna get hurt.
Who are you calling at this hour?
Sit down, come round, I need you now.

Suddenly oh, you've somewhere to be.
No hesitation oh, I've never seen you like this.
You're scaring me you're scaring me you're scaring me to death.
Don't oh (smash)
Please don't oh (I do, please, another one)
Don't oh (smash)
Please don't oh (I do, please, another one)
I'm losing you.
I'm losing you.
Trust me on this one.
I've got it bad for you.
Trust me on this one
You're gonna throw it all away
With no hesitation.

But not just that, it is about death too. I think this when she says "Just put back the car keys or somebody's gonna get hurt" and "Trust me on this, I've got a bad feeling, I'm losing you"
She had a feeling that if he drives away in that way he will "smash" the car and die "I'm losing you"
Losing you here is literal.

"Sadly, things just happen we can't explain."
"Sit down, come 'round, I need you now
We'll work it all out together"
I do agree that the person being spoken to by the narrator is likely abusive and/or alcoholic (though there's more evidence for simply the former) as the section
"Don't. Oh.
(smash)
Please don't. Oh.
(want a - please - nother one?)
Don't. Oh.
(smash)
Please don't. Oh.
(want a - please - nother one?)"
indicates.
But personally I think the lyrics fit the idea of a death, or maybe something more relationship minded -- like say a miscarriage? -- a lot better than cheating. But hey -- just my two cents. It's a beautiful song regardless.
The bumpy ride, during this song, the listener took has shown a relationship take a negative turn. When the song comes to an end, she begins to beg her loved one to not leave her and uses reverse psychology on him. I interpretated that he did not give in to his love one and it was over.
the moment i opened my mouth
lead in your eyelids
bulldozed the life out of me
i know what you're thinking
but, darling, you're not thinking straight
suddenly, things just happen
we can't explain
it's not even light out
but you've somewhere to be
no hesitation
no, i've never seen you like this
and i don't like it at all
just put back the car keys
or somebody's gonna get hurt
who are you calling at this hour?
sit down, come 'round
i need you now
we'll work it all out together
but we're getting nowhere tonight
sleep, i promise it'll all seem better
somehow, in time
it's not even light out
(suddenly, suddenly)
oh, you've somewhere to be
no hesitation
no, i've never seen you like this
you're scaring me to death
don't, oh, (smash) please
don't, oh, (and another one) please
i'm losing you
i'm losing you
trust me on this one
i've got a bad feeling
trust me on this one
you're gonna throw it all away
with no hesitation
(bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye)
I think that this song is about two people in a relationship, I think that either she has cheated or he he has cheated more than likely it is him I think "Who are you calling at this hour?" and that she tells him or confronts him "The moment I said it the moment I opened my mouth." and then he becomes visually upset "Lead in your eyelids, bulldozed the life out of me" I think that the man decides to leave, try and harm himself or the person that she has had an affair with "Just put back the car keys or somebodies gonna get hurt..." I think that their argument becomes physical because she says "I've never seen you like this and I don't like it you're scaring me to death" and I think the smash is the sound of him hitting her or the sound of their relationship crashing or falling apart. She obviously wants things to be ok to stay together or maybe to just go back to the way they were but he doesn't.
and the end verse with the *smash* sequence symbolized the car (the relationship ending)
