| Little Joy – No One's Better Sake Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
"We would be friends if we'd try again I'd take second place just to end this race" This could mean after the breakup they'd be friends because nothing went wrong to make them dislike one another. And he's saying he'll settle with being friends just to end the race of them attempting their relationship since it doesn't do much for either of them. |

i think this is just about a relationship puttering out. and he's just wondering why they're waiting when they should just end it because they're just neither here nor there with each other. maybe they're both indifferent or their feelings for one another waver and it's on and off. and the relationship is just happening for the sake of nothing good or bad. "One thought, has me turning back A dozen point the other way" I think this is during the relationship when you wanted the other person and when it finally happened it wasn't what you thought i would be so even though you know it's not working out you're still hanging on to them. "And if we work it out Chances are bound we'd be standing around for no one's better sake" They most likely could work it out because nothing is really wrong between them. But if they did they'd be no better or worse. And I think the line: "So is this how it ends. Oh with a whimper instead of bang" says a lot. i took it as INSTEAD of having a huge blow up fight or break up or someone cheating, like usual break-ups.. instead it was just a small whimper of it putting to an end. "I can't defend you truly" I related these lyrics to a recent break-up i had that had no bang of an end and it just weakly ended.. and I saw this as saying no one really did anything wrong but no one did anything right, if that makes sense. And if after they're still friends and do care for the other and even though nothing along the lines of unfaithfulness happened, he's saying he can't truly defend the other person for the break-up because they didn't do anything right either. "When I worry about smoke instead of putting out the fire" I think my ex worried too much about "the smoke" as well. He didn't want to work things out so the first mini problem we had he just wanted to step back and end it immediately instead of working on us until a real issue (the "big fire") happened. Fear of reaching complications and ruining us perhaps. Well who knows.. |
