I think this song's about a guy having an affair with a woman that already is in a relationship. And I can explain myself: "Well you're just across the street Looks a mile to my feet" "I can picture your face well From the bar in my hotel" First sounds like he's watching her from a hotel window, but still waits for her inside, cause they can't be seen in public. Then, she ditched him, and he'd like to call her, but knows he can't, hence the "I'll pick up put down the phone". "Funny how I'm nervous still I've always been the easy kill I guess I always will" Could be nervous by the thought of her, or the idea that they're doing something wrong. "Could it be that everything goes round by chance Or only one way it was always meant to be" When he's with her feels like it's faith, and when she goes he's drowning in confusion. "I know what I should do but I just can't walk away" deep inside, he knows she's no god for him, but can't face the idea of letting her go. Also, could mean that knows they souldn't be having an affair. "Oh god please don't tell me this has been in vain I need answers for what all the waiting I've done means You kill me you've got some nerve but can't face your mistakes" Can't bare the thought of having given her all he had, just to end up alone in the end, like nothing ever happened, like it meant nothing. Sounds like she promessed she would leave his husband/boyfriend to be with him, that he should wait, and then runs away from him, instead of facing their mistake. "So go on love Leave while there's still hope for escape You gotta take what you can these days There's so much ahead And so much regret I know what you want to say I know it but can't help feeling differently I loved you And I should have said it Tell me just what has it ever meant" She says she can't leave his partner, he's desolated. Has to deal that he was in love with an idealization of her. "You kill me you build me up but just to watch me break" could be her telling him that he was the real love of her life, and then leaving him anyways. In the end, she just used him, over and over, and got away with it. |
