And I will play
But the day after today
I will stop
And I will start

Why can't I get just one kiss?

    All I know is that the song has several references to oral sex.

    "But I look at your pants and I need I need a kiss"

    "Nothing I can say when I'm in your thighs"

    But that's pretty obvious.

    My interpretation is that it is about a boy who is mentally insane in fact so insane he has to prevent himself from having relations with his own mother due to lack of interest from girls as he says "Why can't I get just one kiss, screw and fuck."

    Finally he gets a gun then threatens his mother and I'm sure you can figure the rest out.

    Don't spend a whole lot of time trying to figure out what this song is talking about. He's just asking why he can't get the girl he wants.
