Save up all the days
Just routine malaise
Just like yesterday
I told you I would stay
Would you always
Maybe sometimes
Make it easy?
Take your time
Think of all the ways
Momentary phase
Just like yesterday
I told you I would stay
Every time you try
Quarter half the mile
Just like yesterday
I told you I would stay
Would you always
Maybe sometimes
Make it easy?
Take your time
Would you always
Maybe sometimes
Make it easy?
Take your time
Always, sometimes
Easy, time
Just routine malaise
Just like yesterday
I told you I would stay
Would you always
Maybe sometimes
Make it easy?
Take your time
Think of all the ways
Momentary phase
Just like yesterday
I told you I would stay
Every time you try
Quarter half the mile
Just like yesterday
I told you I would stay
Would you always
Maybe sometimes
Make it easy?
Take your time
Would you always
Maybe sometimes
Make it easy?
Take your time
Always, sometimes
Easy, time

So yeah I figure its about being in a relationship with someone who is insecure:
"Save up all the days A routine malaise" my habit of bottling myself up and then lashing out periodically. "Think of all the ways Momentary phase" him telling me to think of all the ways to get over this momentary thing. "Every time you try
Quarter half the mile" he told me that even if it didn't feel like much I was much further now than I was when we started our relationship, its in baby steps, take the mile a quarter at a time. "Just like yesterday I told you I would stay" getting repeated so many times is obvious what it means. I've had this conversation more than once, I guess this is the first time it's stuck. "Would you always Maybe sometimes Make it easy Take your time" and just maybe give him a break sometimes, he's not my therapist and I should treat him as such, to take it easy on him. I also picked up on "always maybe sometimes" trying to put it nicely but just feeling a little tired of having to ask for the favor, just a little tired of everything, but still wanting to be there. After all, there's nothing more exhausting that loving someone who doesn't love themselves.

I feel that it's all about being in a relationship where the other person feels insecure.
I keep having to tell you over and over that I am staying, I keep reassuring you and showing you in all kinds of ways that love you and that I am not going anywhere. Could you just for once make it easy for us because I'm getting tired of having to reassure you all the time, it's becoming boring to have to keep telling you.
"A routine malaise, just like yesterday, I told you I would stay..."
and
"Could you always, maybe sometimes, make it easy..."
He feels insecure with himself, and can't help but loathe himself (doesn't everyone, somtimes?)
Whether or not it's directed at a love interest, I don't know - he wants this person to make him feel better about himself, and stop doubting him (I told you I would stay); He's got enough insecurities and doubts of his own without having to worry about this person adding to it.
"Think of all the ways
A routine malaise"
Refering to the other person in a bad situation
"just like yesterday, I told you I would stay"
Reassuring this person that you're there for them; you'll wait for him or her
"would you always?
maybe sometimes?
make it easy?"
Is the guy/girl in the bad situation, making sure that
the person waiting will be there for them
And lastly
"take your time"
The person waiting is giving the guy/girl time to heal
It's a really beautiful song. But that's ma opinion
