The song is about the a couple who are struggling on a day by day basis. They both seem to be suffering in their own way ("She's all laid up in bed with a broken heart; While I'm drinking jack all alone in my local bar") about being unemployed and having no job / money to fall back on.
I love this song because I recently lost my job. I struggle day in, day out trying to make amends. I'm slowly eating through my savings and credit card and in debt. I also feel my partner silently suffering through the pain but I refuse to show it ("Smiling but we're close to tears"). I silently cry alone though...
"How we got into this mess is it God's test?" I don't know but we are learning more about being in poverty and the importance of the small simpler things in life. When we get out of this mess, I believe we'll turn out to be much better people. We both have seen hell and wouldn't wish it upon anyone.
We're now literally drinking cheap bottles of wine and only starting to "connect" to each other again. It makes me realise the more important thing is to have each other around to support one another. Times are definitely hard but through the struggles we have had over the past 4-5 months, we are a lot of a closer couple... "We just now, got the feeling, that we're meeting for the first time"
I'm glad there are artists out there that can really connect to these situations that can happen to anyone. 10/10 song!
