Skip the Charades Lyrics

You wait on letters
Fishing for any sign of life
Drinks after dinner
Your friends will get you to unwind

Let's skip the charades
Can we just speak plain?

I'm two left feet
When I'm home, we tap-danced on broken glass
Somehow you manage
To keep...

    A coupe has broken up and is trying to reconcile so they can both move on and be at peace.
    Like a cut the crap? We both know we're not ok.

    I think its about waiting for someone to come home. When it says "waiting on letters, fishing for any sign of life" I thought it was referring to someone being in the military and being gone. But the people didnt always get along, but they pretend nothing is wrong and everything is okay.
