I've listed to it and tried to hear it both ways. I'm pretty sure it's North Pole, but I wouldn't 100% swear to it. After all, living at the North Pole I think would go a long way to "mess up any kid." |

I can't get to the lyrics, steelpulse. For some reason, his voice in this one just rubs me the wrong way. And that's the only time in 2 LPs and the EP that happens. I just do NOT like this one. |

I think we're all missing the point, but on the right track (no pun intended for the train). The issue that is still unresolved with this discussion is why is she (I'll accept it is a she AND a past romantic relationship) asking him what he remembers? And why does it matter? The rest I agree with. It makes sense. And it rings true. But why does she not remember and why is it important? And if she is asking him what he remembers, clearly he has to have a way (or at least she BELIEVES he has a way) of communicating with her.
Could she be in prison? |

The "i want to go home/but i am home" line is clearly the key. And here is what it means (at least to me). It is not about a house, or an actual physical place. The first part is about the metaphysical "home," where you feel safe. It is about the place where you are taken care of, with people who love and will protect you. The second part is the fact that the metaphysical "home" does not exist, or at least is impossible to get to, and we have to settle for where we are. |
