Okay so as everyone says, this is my interpretation of the song and maybe it's the wrong one but this is what I got:
"" Caught out cold, cold
Hiding from you in this skin
So, old
I'll come, clean
Everyone-everyone knows
It's, me ""
I think in this one the singer has been in a bad place for a long time, hiding from the person they love and they're hoping that one day they'll be happy so everyone sees the real them.
"" And if I recover
Will you be my comfort?
Or it can be over
Or we can just leave it here
So pick any number
Choose any color
I've got the answer
Open the envelope ""
What they're saying is "If I ever get to be in a happy place will you bare with me to stay like that? Because if not, you better leave now." And when she's saying "pick any number, color, I've got the answer" I think she's thinking "okay, I know which are the decisions you have to make in order to make me happy, so you choose (as in, what kind of life they want to live, for example) and then I'll tell you what my decisions were, to see if we match or not"
"" I'll give you one more chance
To say we can change or part ways
And you take what you need
And you don't need me ""
Again, she's giving them a chance to choose. I think the singer believes that this person doesn't REALLY love her, that's why she's insisting.
"" Blow by blow
Honest in every way I know
You appear
To face a decision I know you fear ""
She talks about how she's honest about everything and now her partner has to be honest and tell her if they really love them and want to stay or not.
So generally speaking, I think the song is about this girl who has been through some tough times and she really needs someone but she's afraid this person will only stay with her because they feel bad leaving her, but she's telling them it's okay, she's being herself now, trying to do the right things and being happy.
