this is exactly how i feel throughout/after being involved with.. every guy ever in the world ever. it's like 'look, it's your fault i'm hopeful, so either let me down so i can revisit square one with someone else, or let me in so i can give up feeling so lost.' also a reference to adoring someone you know is bad for you: 'don't know the reason why, but i'll always choose the black in front of white.' as in: 'i don't know why i do this to myself when there are so many guys who are prepared to devote themselves to me.' also: 'and when it hurts the most, i push a little more.' = 'and when you try and retreat, i only try harder to keep you here.' and hence, you are back where you started at. cutest song ever |

i had to get an account on songmeanings to tell you all exactly what this song means. :) basically, the song is about a great love between two people that for x, y, and z reasons, hasn't been consistent. the storyteller knows he's in love. and he believes that the other character knows they return this love. but clearly, they are dealing with some serious issues such as denial, fear - they are overwhelmed. this is life changing love right here. and so: 'You close your eyes and kiss your hand, then you blow it. But it isn't meant for me, and I notice. If the choice was ours alone, Then why'd we both choose letting go? Does it end like this?' oh, what up, long time love of mine. damn, this is kind of awkward. it's been so long. and you look better than i remembered. but damn.. who's that you're blowing kisses to? not me, that's for sure. remind me why we gave up on this? i refuse to admit that it's.. over. 'Time never had a chance to heal your heart Just a number counting down to a new start If you always knew the truth Then the world would spin around you Are you dizzy yet?' i realise you've been burned really bad in the past but a fast turnover of insignificant partners is not going to heal you. besides, everyone needs a little heartbreak. to say you've never been hurt.. well, that would make you next to god! 'Respectfully, so honestly I'm calling out Do you hear the conversation we talk about? Back away to the safety of a quiet house If there's half a chance in this moment When your eyes meet mine, we show it off/shout it out?' so, i'm being honest here: can you just listen to us for a moment? can you look at where we are right now? how can you deny we're connected. if you can, i'll leave right now. i'll go home. i'll keep quiet. but if there's half a chance, i have to know. and if you ask me.. it's obvious. every time our eyes meet. 'All talk and not a lot to think, we're living dreams. And shame never crept close to our naked feet If there's something left to lose, Then don't let me wear out my shoes That I still walk in.' we talk so much i barely have time to figure out what it all means. and remember how it was when we spent that night together? i've never felt more comfortable with someone. if you think we could have that again then please, don't let me walk away. just this once, keep me with you. 'I tried, but it rang and rang, I called all night On a payphone, remember those from another life? If everything I've meant to you, You can lick and seal and fold in two, Then I've been so blind.' i tried to get in touch with you. i tried to reach you, for a long time. i went to that place we used to go. being there with you almost feels like a past life. but where were you? you wouldn't answer. what is up with that, dawg? have a drawn a line under me? if all we've been through is something you can just write down, tear up, burn, and get over.. then i am a freaking fool. 'Respectfully, some honesty, I'm asking now Do you hear the conversation we talk about? Back away to the safety of a quiet house If there's half a chance in this moment When your eyes meet mine, we show it off.' so, please, have a little respect for me here. i know you felt it at one point. i know you still do. i mean, i'm repeating the chorus. if this doesn't get you, what will. 'Oh, oh take it all back, take your first, your last, your only. Oh, oh take it all back, take it all back, Everything you showed me. Oh, oh, this must be how it feels when the feeling goes...' i can't take this, okay? i can't take the memories. i can't take knowing you're right for me. so if we can't be together then please, just take it all back. that night we spent together. showing me your world. this is totally how it feels to get over you. i am empowered. oh, wait... 'I told you as I hovered, I never felt this way. you said 'I had the shot that stops my clock, Baby it's okay' You said you never had regrets, Jesus is there someone yet who got that wish? Did you get yours babe?' (note: i may be wrong here, but this verse seems to be hinting at an abortion, which would make a sensical climax to the song.) i told you while i was waiting for you that i've never felt like this before. you said it's okay, i dealt with it, we're not having a baby. you said you have no regrets. if only that were ever true. 'Respectfully, some honesty, I'm asking now Do you hear the conversation we talk about? I'll back away to the safety of a quiet house If there's half a chance in this moment When your eyes meet mine, we show it off' i remember it all like it was yesterday. and i still love you. and it feels like i always will. so please, just be honest with me, because i have to know how i'm supposed to feel about this. signed, the one who loves you.
