Motion City Soundtrack – Hold Me Down Lyrics 14 years ago
The entire song is a letter from his girlfriend. She wants a break from the relationship. She still loves him, but can't stay with him. Hes her happiness and her pain, and she can't find a way to tell him its over.

"How will I break the news to you?"

Its a break-up song.

John Mayer – Edge Of Desire Lyrics 15 years ago
"Young and full of running
Tell me where has that taken me?
Just a great figure eight or a tiny infinity?"

I think this means that he once was young and immature and has thought to have been in love. It was infatuation. Even though he believed what he felt was love and described as infinity (never ending, lasts forever), maybe it can be flipped on its side and be seen as an eight (and definite).

"Love is really nothing
But a dream that keeps waking me,
For all of my trying
We still end up dying, how can it be?"

Love isn't real, and something we dream for. For all the effort he put forth in a relationship, the "love" he had still ends up dying. Whats the point of trying if he keeps getting the same result?

"Don't say a word just come over and lie here with me,
'Cause I'm just about to set fire to everything I see,
I want you so bad, I'll go back on the things I believed,
There I just said it, I'm scared you'll forget about me."

He wishes this relationship is "the one" and she makes him skeptical about his own beliefs of love. Shes all he ever wanted and doesn't want to give this relationship up.

"Think I'll sleep in my clothes on the floor
Maybe this mattress will spin on its axis and find me on yours"

Even though you aren't next to me, I can't stop thinking about you, and I wish I was next to you.

Note: And if you ever find this Betty, please don't forget me. I dedicate this song to you. You've broken my own beliefs on love, and I believe you're the one. We've been together through 3 1/2 beautiful years, and please don't throw away everything we've had. Love, Johnny.

Dashboard Confessional – A Plain Morning Lyrics 18 years ago
I love this song. Its one of my most favorite songs from Dashboard. I think its about how a boyfriend is going to visit his love, and that he can't wait to see her.
