I think this song is coming from the perspective of a close guy friend who has feelings for this girl but she doesn't feel the same and keeps going through guy after guy and things never work out. He's condescending in a way because she makes him mad but he cares for her too. You would look a little better Don't you know If you just wore less make-up: She tries too hard and at the same time, he feels bad that she feels like she has to make herself good enough because she's beautiful the way she is and he loves her for who she really is. But its hard to realize When you're sky high Fighting off the spaceships: She's going through a lot. Can't see things for what they really are. And so you're drinking in your room To make it all go: Always gets extremely emotionally attached and thinks it's going to be different, but it never is. It didn't end too soon You've got the next one: Sort of mocking her, but in a loving way. But he knows that she'll get over it and just go on to the next guy in line. You're holding on too long You've got to let go Your other love is gone: She needs to move on. He's not the one for her anyway. She blew it... she seems to have a way with not making relationships work. And you know Its too late Its too late You've got another one coming And its going to be the same: Things are just gonna keep happening the same way, going in circles.He doesn't like that, but he knows it's just the way she is and what always happens. I tried to find a quiet place that we could go To help you make decisions: best friends, he helps her with guy problems But I didn't find it easy to tell them apart With double vision: hard for him because he's trying to see her way and help. Wants her to be happy, but wants them to be more too so he has a hard time sometimes with the two perspectives. And so you're drinking in your room To make it all go It didn't end too soon You've got the next one You're holding on too long You've got to let go Your other love is gone And you know (Its not the same Its not the same Its not the same You're going to tell me that I'm right You're going to come back down And find yourself Where you are again): "wishful thinking. dreaming sort of. They wouldn't be the same as all of her past relationships. they would work out. they're meant to be together. She's going to realize what she's been missing. She's going to become who she was before all of the guys happened and she's going to find herself and be happy. and he'll be happy. You didn't know You didn't know You didn't know So don't pretend you saw it now Its not something you'd want to happen Now you know who you are again: She never saw it coming. She never had feelings for himand didn't want to let herself love him, but it happened. And now she can be herself. |
