I think you guys have it wrong. I don't think it's that he's obsessed with her. I think that it's about a guy who is very busy with work...like a musician maybe? loving a girl who leads a slower paced life outside of the limelight. He loves her, but his work keeps him away from her more than he'd like (my time is often decided for me) his managers and tour schedule keep him away. But she loves him, and understands that he is pursuing his passion (no way she'd ever want to change me). The fact that she loves him enough to be ok with the time he has to spend away means a lot to him. "She's at the movies, I'm on the phone; (she's home, passing the time with out him while he's on the road) When we're separated we're never alone, but still (They feel close emotionally, even when distance separates them) It's never enough, it's never enough, no it's never enough" (It IS never enough, when you have a schedule like that. Any amount of time you have with the person seems SO short, when you know you have to leave again soon.) |

While it's clearly a song about being in love, I think it's actually a little sadder than the song sounds. I'm taking it as, being crazy in love with someone who you KNOW is not good for you, and will hurt you, but you can't help but love them. (Birds eat worms). If you listen, I mean, he's talking about being torn apart (if my segments get separated), and thrown away (I'm hooked so toss me over). And the whole "with friends like these". Clearly this is a girl that is NOT good for him, but he's going for it anyway and just enjoying it while he can? Or maybe a bit of wishful thinking that it will all work out (repeating "we where meant to be" at the end) |
