Pieholden Suite Lyrics
There's a whisper
I would like to breathe
Into your ear
But I'm too scared
To get that close
To you right now
There are dreams
We might have shared
And I still care
And I still love you
But you know how I've been untrue
In the beginning
We closed our eyes
Whenever we kissed
We were surprised
To find so much inside
I would like to breathe
Into your ear
But I'm too scared
To get that close
To you right now
We might have shared
And I still care
And I still love you
But you know how I've been untrue
We closed our eyes
Whenever we kissed
We were surprised
To find so much inside

the song seems like its going back to front, which creates an air of hope by the end of it. even though its about an end of a relationship
sigh... this is one of my favorite songs of theirs. the piano is great, it makes me imagine this green carpeted hallway, art deco-style hotel... i agree about the air of hope, the last verse is really touching.
edit years later:
For me, it's about a relationship that fell apart...and the narrator still holds feelings for the person he is singing to, but he's cheated on her, or just messed around a lot since they parted, and he's lamenting over the fact things can't go back to how they were, and he wishes they could. He seems to want to try to get past the bad parts no matter how hard it will be.
Like I mentioned in my previous comment, I imagine this song to be taking place inside of a hotel room where these two people are seeing each other for the first time in years, and talking about the past...tying up loose ends, trying to tie them into a bow. It's so beautiful, nostalgic and melancholy.<p><b><i>Edited by delial on January 2 2008, at 11:31PM</i></b></p>

anyone know what "pieholden suite" actually is or is referencing to?
@roman candle Maybe you know by now but Pieholden Suite Sound is a studio in Chicago that Jay Bennett started. Still in operation today.

pie is sweet? holding pie is sweet? I dunno. is it an anagram?
N D L H P S T I E O E U I E I can't see one. I think it'd be cool if it was an anagram.
My favorite Wilco song. So lovely.
its too good.
