White kitchen walls with a thousand windows
you turn on Winston in the den
and I'm still asleep but I can hear the piano
when you make breakfast after 10
and I smell the coffee on your fingers
I still smell the perfume in the bed
the crushed linen roses on everything
and your still inside my head
you gotta make her know how it feels to miss you
let her know your swapping sides
you're not the one with all the problems no no
you're the one with all the pride
so just pick your head up boys and walk away
walk the coolest walk that you know
cause in a month or two she'll call you
you gotta hang up the phone
I hope she knows I got this memory
that won't ever seem to break or bend
a thick lock and sheetrock is on my windows in the kitchen
I dont think I'll ever take them down again
and I've learned a lot from all these break ups and make ups
and fuck ups and fake ups
things that I wish you could comprehend, yeah comprehend
but for now I'll lace up my wingtip shoes, boys
and I'll go and have breakfast with my good friends
you gotta make her know how it feels to miss you
let her know your swapping sides
you're not the one with all the problems
you're not the one with all the problems
you're the one with all the pride
you gotta make her know how it feels to miss you
let her know your swapping spit
you're not the one with all the problems
you're not the one with all the problems
she's the one that's full of shit
so just pick your head up boy and walk away
walk the coolest walk that you know
I know you know that in a month or two she'll call you
you gotta hang up the phone
you turn on Winston in the den
and I'm still asleep but I can hear the piano
when you make breakfast after 10
and I smell the coffee on your fingers
I still smell the perfume in the bed
the crushed linen roses on everything
and your still inside my head
you gotta make her know how it feels to miss you
let her know your swapping sides
you're not the one with all the problems no no
you're the one with all the pride
so just pick your head up boys and walk away
walk the coolest walk that you know
cause in a month or two she'll call you
you gotta hang up the phone
I hope she knows I got this memory
that won't ever seem to break or bend
a thick lock and sheetrock is on my windows in the kitchen
I dont think I'll ever take them down again
and I've learned a lot from all these break ups and make ups
and fuck ups and fake ups
things that I wish you could comprehend, yeah comprehend
but for now I'll lace up my wingtip shoes, boys
and I'll go and have breakfast with my good friends
you gotta make her know how it feels to miss you
let her know your swapping sides
you're not the one with all the problems
you're not the one with all the problems
you're the one with all the pride
you gotta make her know how it feels to miss you
let her know your swapping spit
you're not the one with all the problems
you're not the one with all the problems
she's the one that's full of shit
so just pick your head up boy and walk away
walk the coolest walk that you know
I know you know that in a month or two she'll call you
you gotta hang up the phone

Album:
The Answers: Driving 610 loop with Jeff my first roommate. He knew I was sad. He said 'You gotta make her know how it feels to miss you'"
Consent to Treatment: "Second attempt at Jeff's advice and the recording itself"
This may sound crazy, but I relate to this song in the death of my mom. My childhood was the "white kitchen walls with a thousand winds" and while I'm not angry at her for dying there's still so much anger that it happened and I'm just all locked up and screwed up from it.
"a thick lock and sheetrock is on my windows in the kitchen
I dont think I'll ever take them down again"
And while you act like you're all tough and you'll SHOW THEM you really just hurt so bad inside and would take it back in a heartbeat. I think that's how Justin feels too.
that won't ever seem to break or bend
a thick lock and sheetrock is on my windows in the kitchen
I dont think I'll ever take them down again"
i think Justin is being metaphorical and talking about how he has a thick lock over his "window" which can be a metaphor for his heart. he's saying his gaurd is up and he doesn't want to bring it down.
what is a thick lock and sheetrock? O_o
But I think the part where he says:
"I've learned a lot from all these break ups and make ups and fuck ups and fake ups - things that I wish you could comprehend, yeah comprehend..."
...is pretty telling in that this isn't the first break up/make up they've been through together. Like it's a relationship with a lot of games going on. And that instead of just being depressed and wanting her back as usual, he's going to keep living life without her this time. This time is going to be different (or at least he's telling himself that) - and when she calls to get back together again... he's not going to be there waiting for her call.
Whether he's still playing the game (by trying to teach her a lesson) or he's really done with her... is hard to say. But I agree with you that it's dripping with sarcasm.
