Night Swimming
Beach walking
Always silent
Never talking
Then you call my name
And I know inside I love you
Sail away
I miss you more
Until you see the shore
There I will be waiting
Anticipating
Each moment is new
And breeds a moment
Each moment is cool
And breeds a moment
I wouldn't want to be
Anywhere else but... here
I wouldn't want to change
Anything at all
(Anything oh I...)
I wouldn't want to take
Everything out on... you
Though I know I do
(Although I know I do)
Everytime I fall
Day dreaming
Chain smoking
Always laughin
Always jokin
I remain the same
Did I tell you that I love you
Brush your teeth
And pour a cup of black coffee out
I love to watch you do that every day
The little things that you do
Each moment is new
And breeds a moment
Each moment is cool
And breeds a moment
I wouldn't want to be
Anywhere else but... here
I wouldn't want to change
Anything at all
(Anything oh I...)
I wouldn't want to take
Everything out on... you
Though I know I do
(Although I know I do)
Everytime I fall
Hmmmmmm
Hmmmmmm
Each moment is cool
And breeds a moment
I wouldn't want to be
Anywhere else but... here
I wouldn't want to change
Anything at all
(Anything oh I...)
I wouldn't want to take
Everything out on... you
Though I know I do
(Although I know I do)
Everytime I fall
(Everytime I fall)
(Everytime I fall)
I wouldn't want to be
Anywhere else but... here
(Anywhere but here)
I wouldn't want to change
(I wouldn't want to change)
Anything at all
(Anything oh I...)
I wouldn't want to take
Everything out on... you
Though I know I do
(Although I know I do)
Everytime I fall
Night swimming
Beach walking
Always silent
Never talking
Then you call my name
And I know inside I love you
Sail away
I miss you more
Until you see the shore
There I will be waiting
Anticipating
Beach walking
Always silent
Never talking
Then you call my name
And I know inside I love you
Sail away
I miss you more
Until you see the shore
There I will be waiting
Anticipating
Each moment is new
And breeds a moment
Each moment is cool
And breeds a moment
I wouldn't want to be
Anywhere else but... here
I wouldn't want to change
Anything at all
(Anything oh I...)
I wouldn't want to take
Everything out on... you
Though I know I do

The rap-like parts are telling romantic moments but everyone of it has a touch of being "wrong".
romantic: Night Swimming
romantic: Beach walking
wrong: Always silent
wrong: Never talking
romantic: Then you call my name
romantic: And I know inside I love you
Romantic:
Sail away
I miss you more
Until you see the shore
There I will be waiting
Wrong:
Anticipating
More subtle in the second verse:
Day dreaming
Chain smoking
Always laughin
Always jokin
I remain the same
Did I tell you that I love you
<--- “Anticipating”, Always, always, "I remain the same" are the keywords to look for. Routine, routine, I don’t think she likes it. She is already “Anticipating”, meaning he is so boring, she can even predict what he is going to do next.
"Did I tell you that I love you" <--- She lets him think himself safe, trying desparetely not to show him her doubts. Women often do that to overplay their feelings I guess, because they are too scared to actually face the situation and break up. She maybe also doesn't want to hurt his feelings. She knows, she has everything she has ever wanted, but still it doesn't feel right. She doesn't want to end the relationship though, trying to smooth-talk the daily routine and trying really hard to appreciate it.
Brush your teeth
And pour a cup of black coffee out
WRONG - Why would he brush his teeth first and then drink the coffee afterwards to have them dirty again? It doesn't make sense. It even tastes horrible; mint-toothpaste-taste with coffee. And just imagine the picture of freshly cleaned, white teeth, black coffee running over it, making them all look somehow... wrong. It's a very strong metaphor, a central paradox, standing for everything in this relationship going wrong. I think she is actually disgusted by the black coffee over freshly cleaned teeth.
I love to watch you do that every day
The little things that you do
It's a lie, she actually hates it. But as I said, she is trying to talk that smooth. It's a phrase, maybe from a companion she read to save her relationship, nothing more.
The chorus is also noticeable:
Each moment is new <-- It’s a lie
Freeze the moment <- - It’s a phrase
Each moment is cool <- - It’s a lie
Freeze the moment <- - phrase again
I wouldnt wanna be
Anywhere else but... here <- - Ever seen “Lie to me”? The pause before “here” indicates she actually is lying. She wants to say something else, this is why she stops. Wonderfully shown by the rhythm of the song. A totally greasy melody with an unexpected pause. Masterwork.
I wouldnt wanna change
Anything at all <- - Phrase and lie!
(Anything oh I..) <- - Notice it?
I wouldnt wanna take
Everything out on... you
Though I know I do
(Although I know I do)
Everytime I fall
Now that’s interesting. It indicates that the perfect couple isn’t so perfect, just as expected. She is taking everything out on him. The lyrics say nothing about him defending himself. He seems to be passive, helpless, victim to her attacks. But she is attacking, because she can’t do different. Suppressed feelings will always find their way out. And at least maybe she is hoping for him to react, to actually feel something is wrong, to change his behavior, to break the routine or at least break up the relationship (though she maybe does not want this consciously).
It’s not very woman-like to end a technically good “functioning”, but actually unemotional relationship, it’s in our genes I guess. When he’s not doing wrong, we won’t leave, though we maybe don’t love him.
I may be prejudiced, I went through this once and leaving that guy finally was one of the best things I did in life. But hadn’t it been for my friends and family, I wouldn’t have done it, too afraid to make things worse.
I still think I would construe the lyrics the same way if it hadn’t been like that. The videoclip stresses my theory. It’s about a sad couple, she is always running him ragged. Half of the video she is throughing things at him. One scene he is only sitting in the bath tub when she is freaking out. He doesn’t do anything to her, just hitting the water, the mirror, but not really defending himself. One scene she is even packing her bags, then he reacts, trying to detain her by holding the bag. This is exactly how my ex-boyfriend reacted. I had packed the bag before though so it was closed; I just took it and went away. She didn’t, just sitting down in the edge crying. This is when the verse with the romantic scenes is repeated, but it sounds lower, background music getting louder, sounding quite aggressive then and finally fading.
Wonderfull song. I hope I could help you to understand it. I'm open to other opinions though.
