Yesterday's News Lyrics
well traveling to the point
that i can't stop it
get so familiar
never get enough
talk about it all the time
just drop it
damage on your pretty little eyes says it all
i can't stand to be under your wing
i can't fly or sink or swim
it's a lot like falling down
standing up, and i'm falling down
fill my cup til i understand
wait a minute, see the pieces don't fit this time
well, yesterday's news is what i have been reading
see you at the comet and i end up needing
know if you were thinking it could have been
it was nothing it's cause nothing's what you did
i can't stand to be under your wing
i can't fly or sink or swim
it's a lot like falling down
standing up, and i'm falling down
fill my cup til i understand
wait a minute, see the pieces don't fit this time
well i can't stand to be under your wing
i can't fly or sink or swim
it's a lot like falling down
i'm standing up, falling down
fill my cup til i understand
wait a minute, see the pieces don't fit this time
that i can't stop it
get so familiar
never get enough
talk about it all the time
just drop it
damage on your pretty little eyes says it all
i can't fly or sink or swim
it's a lot like falling down
standing up, and i'm falling down
fill my cup til i understand
wait a minute, see the pieces don't fit this time
see you at the comet and i end up needing
know if you were thinking it could have been
it was nothing it's cause nothing's what you did
i can't fly or sink or swim
it's a lot like falling down
standing up, and i'm falling down
fill my cup til i understand
wait a minute, see the pieces don't fit this time
i can't fly or sink or swim
it's a lot like falling down
i'm standing up, falling down
fill my cup til i understand
wait a minute, see the pieces don't fit this time

this song was like my mantra for a while, which is interesting because i don't really know exactly what the end of the second verse means... but it seems right, and incredibly empowering (except for the parts about getting drunk until everything makes sense-- actually come to think of it i probably should have picked a better mantra...)
Clearly about a guy that has a girl that strung him along and he has/is convincing himself of the futility of the situation. The first verse means he would fall for her bad but there was something she was witholding, commitment or ahem. The last 2 lines of the chorus clarify this, he keeps up with her over and over and then its clear it won't work out, the whole thing about filling his cup has a second meaning besides a booze refrence. The second verse refers to a time or the times when he sees her at a place (probably a bar, club or coffee shop) and just seeing her, wants her, and thinks to himself that if she thinks it didn't turn out it was because of something she withheld.
