This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
it takes a lot to phase me
i'm pretty stable
i'm pretty sane but..
i'm looking at my future
and, god, do i have to lose her?
we share conversations on
how we're all just floating
through space and nothing matters
i'm looking for a pattern
is it possible to say
"baby, let's run away
to the east coast or Seatle
Corpus or San Marcos,"
i've got a credit card
and a reliable car
let's drive...to Pennsylvania
madi, dear, can't we just disappear
and take our chances
on a teenagers' romances?
put our money where our mouth is
madi, dear, can't we just disappear
and take our chances
on a teenagers' romances?
put our money where our mouth is
it takes a lot to make pretty anger
and very sad
and i'm looking towards the outcome
there must some hidden reason
we share kisses upside down
and on your old quilt
by your computer
i was hoping
your garage as it opened
is there anyway
you can change schools and stay
up here in ft worth
'cause you're what i look for
i've got a hopeless crush
maybe that don't mean much to you
but, i'm hoping this can keep going
madi, dear, can't we just disappear
and take our chances
on a teenagers' romances?
put our money where our mouth is
madi, dear, can't we just disappear
and take our chances
on a teenagers' romances?
put our money where our mouth is
i've got a credit card
and a reliable car
let's drive...to Pennsylvania
it's six am and icecream is the first thing on my list
and pets improves our kisses
after so many misses
madi, dear, can't we just disappear
and take our chances
on a teenagers' romances?
put our money where our mouth is
madi, dear, can't we just disappear
and take our chances
on a teenagers' romances?
put our money where our mouth is
i'm pretty stable
i'm pretty sane but..
i'm looking at my future
and, god, do i have to lose her?
we share conversations on
how we're all just floating
through space and nothing matters
i'm looking for a pattern
is it possible to say
"baby, let's run away

i've got a credit card

madi, dear, can't we just disappear
and take our chances

put our money where our mouth is
madi, dear, can't we just disappear

put our money where our mouth is
