Choke, tried to wash you down
With something strong, dry
But the taste of blood remains.
Cold empty mattresses
And falling stars, my how
They start to look the same.

So keep in happiness
And torture me while I
Tell you "let's go in style."
A million hooks around
A million ways to die,
Darlin' it's cold outside.

No, no more eyes to see the sun
You slide into bed while I get drunk
Slow conversations with a gun mean
More than I've ever said to anyone

So keep in happiness
And torture me while I
Tell you "let's go in style."
A million hooks around
A million ways to die,
Darlin' let's go inside
It'll be alright.

But last night you said you ended up in
Palm springs dancin' on tables,
Almost faught some bitch at the club (Yeah!)
Got kicked out of your hotel and lost your shoes
Well, fuck what am I supposed to be impressed?
You're just another set of bones to lay to rest.
I guess it's time to say goodnight,
Hope you had a really good time, good time.

I will soon forget the color of your eyes
And you will forget mine.

So keep in happiness
And torture me while I
Tell you "let's go in style."
A million hooks around
A million ways to die,
Let's go outside.
It'll be alright.

But last night you said you ended up in
Palm springs dancin' on tables.

    General Comment:I like to think that this song is about falling out of a friendship or relationship. The person is taking them for granted and doing really stupid things all the time and they finally get tired of it. The point of view of the song is they are tired of chasing after the other person all the time.

    My Interpretation:I feel like the song is basically saying, there was a girl who did all kinds of things that maybe weren't so good, such as running around with other guys. But she always had some kind of excuse (But last night you said you ended up in Palm Springs dancing on tables). But eventually, he just gets tired of running around behind her (What am I supposed to be, impressed?) He's saying she's nothing so amazing that he should just stay and deal with her crap. And that's basically what the title says, like, You Need A Jacket, you need me to be there for you, I'm Low On Gas, but I can't keep just running around you for stupid things like this metaphorical jacket.

    General Comment:This is a good ass song but, yea, this song it is hard to decipher the meaning. my initial thought was that it was talking about a relationship, friend or romantic, that is toxic. The one person is drawn to them and doesn’t realize the damage being done or doesn’t want to do anything about it. Then that person realizes how big of a loser that other person is and is finally content with no longer being involved with that person. Sooooo I am most likely wrong but that is my interpretation of the song.
