"Ion square, perspex swings"

The partner walking out.... perspex door swinging as he leaves

Bloc Party – Ion Square Lyrics 17 years ago
"I breathe out, you breathe in
Permanent midnight
Hour alone, an hour alone (?)"

remembering the most exciting parts of thier relationship.... wishing it was again.

"How we've come to depend
On each other to the end
The space between us has disappeared
You finish my, you finish my words for me"

Saying how close they became

"I remember how it began
So many great days in a row
Barefoot on Bishopsgate
Trying to find Blake's grave"

Again another memory

"If it could stay like this in a silver foil
Trapped in amber for a ?
Permanent midnight
Hour alone, hour alone (?)"

Wishing... it still was

"Who said unbroken happiness
Is a bore, is a bore?
Who said it, my love? I don't mind it
Anymore, anymore"

obviously the singer is saying this aside... like " who says this means that ???"
he is saying "Who said unbroken happiness
Is a bore?" - Obviously he broke up with him for this reason.... *entire reasoning for the song*

"
And I reach out a hand over your side of the bed
Pull that blanket over your shoulders exposed to the night
And the hunger of those early years will never return
But I don't mind, I don't mind"

saying how that excitement is expected to decrease as a relationship lengthens

"
So let's stay in, let the sofa be our car
Let's stay in, let the TV be our stars
I found my dancing shoes but they don't fit
All the bright lights do is bore me
They bore me"

Trying to find a new partner is no fun... even though he is strong enough to do it "found my dancing shoes", the new single people dont catch his eye...as much as this last partner did.. "but they don't fit
All the bright lights do is bore me"

so he remembers his partner... forever
