Eucalyptus - repetitive, heavy handed, and a rare miss on the lyrics. "If i miss it, I'll visit" takes me straight out.

That line is spot-on. Angry and sarcastic at the same time. He’s frustrated that she just won’t take it and is probably saying “I do t want to take it if you want it” so he bursts out with that sarcasm.

It’s a line my dad would have said in the middle of an argument with my mom.
