This is one of those songs I find easy to put on repeat for hours. As far as my interpretation goes, she's been hurt by the guy and wants him to come back but is far too proud to admit it. It's that feeling of loneliness and abandonment when the one you like and want so badly is no longer in your life. You wish they were feeling the same pain and would come back to you. It's hard to admit you miss someone once they've hurt and left you, though. Who wants to beg? I love the ending line, "But if you do, don't you know, that I don't mind." She's finally revealing how much she truly hopes and wants him to come back. This line "you're not the only one that I know" is the way of trying to trick the guy and everyone else into thinking she's not upset about it and will easily move on. "It's perfectly fine to sleep in a chair from Monday 'til Saturday." These are ways she deals with the sadness and disappointment. Of course it's not perfectly fine, but that's the only way it seems to be able to cope at the moment. She's losing the ability to be happy and function. Just beautiful. Totally melancholy and brilliant lyrics capture it all. Aside from the lyrical content, Harriet's vocals reach beautiful places in this one. This has easily become one of my favorites. Here's a thank you to the Sundays. :)
