Boy & Bear – Part Time Believer Lyrics 12 years ago
I found this song to be very personal, I related it to my relationship to my father.

We've run out of reason
Losing sight of what it's supposed to be
A part time believer, till truth
We've somehow conceded this self-evasive solitude
It means way too much to me

We've run out of reason to even bother with our relationship- we have lost sight of what its meant to be like. 'part time believer' I believe that you might come back to me, to make it work, but then I see the truth, you don't come and I stop believing again. We're both on our own, and us being closer means way too muc to me.

I thought that the chorus was the memory from the childhood, 'waiting for my dad to come home.' Waiting for him to finally show up.

Oh you dare,
You run like a lion
To defend your senses
And oh it seems
It cuts at the core
It's not the same my friend no more

The last verse, I have confronted him with the whole issue, how he was never there and now he is neglecting it and running away. I was trying really hard but it is hurting deep and, its not the same as how I thought it would be. He will never be my friend.

That's just the way I interpreted it.
