This song is telling the same story as 'Movielike', from the guy's perspective (I just left a comment on that song too). Jimmy Eat World have done this at least once before with 12.23.95 and Christmas Card, but maybe there are other more subtle ones too. Super interpretation by Aces BTW - I think JEW put '(like the city)' in the booklet to help you understand the story the song is telling. |

I think this song is the other half to 'Invented' The girl met the guy in LA. He comes to see her in NYC, her home city. He's fallen in love with her (hence she's always in his head) but he can't express it properly, maybe he's shy (and he can't find the right words). She gets the wrong idea and thinks he's not into her. He picks up on this and leaves (Maybe I'll leave, give you time... let you think." In the end, he still thinks they can have a cinematic end that he can picture. But she sees there's nothing Movielike, no magic. It's a sad, sad story! |
