City and Colour – Save Your Scissors Lyrics 17 years ago
When I listen to this song, I believe that Dallas is referring to a situation where someone has feelings for you but they aren't returned.


"maybe next time will be the right time
and maybe next time will be your time"

- Maybe the next time the person falls for someone, it will be mutual?

"So save your scissors
For someone else's skin
My surface is so tough
I don't think the blade will dig in"

- Basically save your love for someone else, because I'm too confused/different/messed-up to return the feelings right now. Give up because I don' think you can make me feel for you.

"Save your strength
Save your wasted time
There's no way that I want you to be left behind"

- I don't want you wasting your time on me, and end up on your own because you've spent your life being hung up on me.

"So why does it always seem
That every time I turn around
Sombody falls in love with me."

- This situation is a common occurence.

"This has never been my sole intention
And I have never claimed to have patents on such inventions."

- It's not my intention on wooing girls.

This is just my opinion. But I believe it to be accurate as it doesn't really leave any un-answered lines. Tell me what you think.
