It means, I'm not the one who's going to give up on this relationship.

Martin Sexton – Glory Bound Lyrics 16 years ago
Choosing the unknown that might offer more than the known. Choosing something that might be a mistake rather than a sure thing -- because the "sure thing" isn't making you happy.

The Tragically Hip – Nautical Disaster Lyrics 16 years ago
OK if this song is about an actual nautical disaster, could someone please explain the last few lines?

Then the dream ends when the phone rings,
you're doing alright he said it's out there most days and nights,
but only a fool would complain.
Anyway Susan, if you like,
our conversation is as faint as a sound in my memory,
as those fingernails scratching on my hull.

What conversation in relation to an actual nautical disaster? Who's Susan? What dream? What conversation?

I think anyone who has had to let someone go to save themselves would understand what this song is about.

Zero 7 – Distractions Lyrics 17 years ago
She's saying "I love you" to get her lover to understand that anything else she says is meaningless. The truth is scary.

I think this song is about what it's like to have to end a relationship with someone to save yourself. Sometimes, no matter how much you care about someone or want the relationship to work, the cold, hard facts are that it's not going to work.
