"All our secrets they are tailored trouble. Draped loose now around your hips. You're spotless instincts are valid. We co-exist." {tailored trouble} makes me think of little things that really shouldn't be big problems, and the chick picks out things and makes them seem worse then they are {Draped loose now around your hips}, but they stick together{We co-exist} "Got 26 days to work with. (Got 26 days.) We got 26 days to work with. (It moves, it moves, it moves.) We'll see what all gets done." When I first heard this it make me think of the menstrual cycle, which is averaged at 28 days(time it stops to the next time it starts), so maybe it's a jibe at how some women use their periods as an excuse to not do something so this chick's not on it{got 26 days} there's no excuse not to do what needs to be done {see what all gets done} "I'm an addict for dramatics. I confuse the two for love. You can tell me that you don't beg." I'm not sure...he seems to get into these types of situations that can blow up easily{addict for dramatics}and the girl doesn't think she purposely makes things worse for the sake of it{You can tell me that you don't beg}...IDK "Liar. (Liar.) If we're keeping score, We're all choir boys at best; Intrusive and arrogant. Liar. (Liar.) If we're keeping score, We're all choir boys at best; Intrusive and arrogant." The guy doesn't believe that she *accidentally* makes things worse{Liar} and she doesn't go for his saying she does{(Liar)}. He thinks that if she believes she's so rightous{Intrusive and arrogant} then he must be to{We're all choir boys at best} "Got 26 days to work with. (Got 26 days.)" As stated earlier. "Then back on that island, That you swear by. Still barely can afford. It's still a question of, "How long will this hold? " Well is it any different? (I said this is all done.) Now that we are home, oh, Don't you go there, not here. Not now. (It moves, it moves, it moves.) Not here, not now." The girl thinks that a vacation will cool their chops {back on that island,That you swear by} but once they get back to reality it goes back to how it was{we are home, oh,Don't you go there}. "I'm an addict for dramatics. I confuse the two for love. You can tell me that you don't beg." Already said. "Liar. (Liar.) If we're keeping score, We're all choir boys at best; Intrusive and arrogant." Stated earlier. "Liar. (Liar.) If we're keeping score, We're all choir boys at best; Intrusive and arrogant." Stated earlier. "We're all choir boys at best." "Liar. (Liar.) If we're keeping score, We're all choir boys at best; Intrusive and arrogant." "Liar. (Liar.) If we're keeping score, We're all choir boys at best; Intrusive and arrogant." "Liar. (Liar.) Liar. (Liar.)" He's calling her a liar 'cause she won't cop to making things worse, she's calling him a liar for implying such a thing. "It takes one to know one." If he's such a liar then so is she. Sorry it came out soo long, but that's what I think. Post what you think.

"We got 26 days to work with (it moves, it moves, it moves) We'll see what all gets done" maybe they only have a certain amount of time to be together and the guy wants to do as much as he can with the time they have "I'm an addict for dramatics I confuse the two for love" it means that the guy likes to mess around and he confuses those feelings for love he then tells the girl that she's asking for it "Liar (liar) If we're keeping score We're all choir boys at best (Intrusive and arrogant)" the girl claims she's looking for something real and the guy knows its not going to be "real". He knows that she knows its just a fling and he's saying she can't blame it all on him because they both made a move "It's still a question of How long will this hold?" the guy tries staying with this girl but he questions if its going to work. "Is it any different now that we are Don't you go there not here, not now" the guy is wondering if its any different that theyre are trying to be a couple instead of a fling, the girl starts a fight with him thats all I got I hope its good :)

"All our secrets ... We co-exist." - They both lie to each other, and now she's wearing one of her lies around her hips (i.e. She's prego!) "Got 26 days to work with" - until she receives her next period. If she doesn't, well, that confirms it. "It moves, it moves, it moves" - the baby inside her, or so she says. "Back on that island ... How long will this hold?" - more of a situation, like she's in her own world and trying to "trap" him in it. He doesn't think it'll last. "Don't you go there, not here, not now" - She breaks the news to him, he starts to panic. "Addict for dramatics, I confuse the two for love" - All the lies and problems associated with their relationship. He calls it love, but isn't sure anymore. "It takes one to know one" - Confirming they're both liers.
