You have her pictures,
You have her pictures,
You have her pictures everywhere.
You're covered in stitches,
You're covered in stitches,
You think I can't see them, but I know they're there.
[Chorus]
Take her down from the wall,
Let yourself fall,
You can't keep her frozen, dormant at your court,
You can try to move on, tripped by stitches come undone.
you lost your big heart,
You lost your big heart,
You lost your big heart beating bare.
She gave you a new start,
She gave you a new start,
But you knew you'd lost her to despair.
[Chorus]
Your skin burns and prickles,
Your skin burns and prickles,
Your skin burns and prickles when she's near.
You try to play it cool,
You try to play it cool,
You try to play it cool, but you're filled with fear.
[Chorus]
Take her down from the wall,
Let her go make her yours,
You can't keep her frozen, dormant at your court,
You can try to move on, tripped by stitches come undone.
You can try to move on, tripped by stitches come undone.
You can try to move on, tripped by stitches come undone.
You can try to move on, or maybe she is the one.
You have her pictures,
You have her pictures everywhere.
You're covered in stitches,
You're covered in stitches,
You think I can't see them, but I know they're there.
[Chorus]
Take her down from the wall,
Let yourself fall,
You can't keep her frozen, dormant at your court,
You can try to move on, tripped by stitches come undone.
you lost your big heart,
You lost your big heart,
You lost your big heart beating bare.
She gave you a new start,
She gave you a new start,
But you knew you'd lost her to despair.
[Chorus]
Your skin burns and prickles,
Your skin burns and prickles,
Your skin burns and prickles when she's near.
You try to play it cool,
You try to play it cool,
You try to play it cool, but you're filled with fear.
[Chorus]
Take her down from the wall,
Let her go make her yours,
You can't keep her frozen, dormant at your court,
You can try to move on, tripped by stitches come undone.
You can try to move on, tripped by stitches come undone.
You can try to move on, tripped by stitches come undone.
You can try to move on, or maybe she is the one.

i know someone for whom this fits perfectly :\
SIA: Yeah, I was working in my friend's studio and he had broken up with his girlfriend about eight months prior, and he had all these pictures up behind his computer in the studio of him and his ex girlfriend these huge posters of her all over the studio. And it had been such a long time, and he talks about her all the time but he wasn't sure whether he wanted to be with her or whether he didn't, and I was at the end of a very long song writing period and was looking for inspiration. Because the f***ed part about writing songs everyday is that you end up not having any life to actually write about; you can't write about writing songs and it becomes this kind of catch 22. So, I guess I just looked up and thought I'll write a song about him being incapable of moving on. So I wrote it and gave it to him and he was both touched and alarmed and removed all the photos.

"you can try to move on, tripped by stitches come undone
you can try to move on, or maybe she is the one"
there's a bit with our hands on the table, each holding a cigarette, lifting it for a last drag and simultaneously putting them out. It was the last time I went to see him. I'm engaged to someone else now and live in another country, but this song still makes me cry. Yes, it's about exes - the ones you can't let go, and don't want to do that anyway. And it's beautiful, because it ends with that bittersweet line that's hopelessly hopeful.
it's the acknowlegment of the fact that the person you're with isn't fully yours and you're pleading for them to move on or to just go on and be with her.
