And it comes down to you
Never and ever, wrecked his day
Looks and flirts and noontime in your shortest skirt
Past the point of trying, I'm a dying breed
Thank you for reminding me of all the things I've done completely wrong
Stop these looks and letters
This isn't for the better,
you've stripped me down
It's for the worse
You're not my girl
(can't recall, I can't recall all the times)
I can't recall all the times
that she talked down to you
Letter's come again
Stop the circulation
to my legs and break my bones
Dateless and late
I'm better by myself at home
Past the point of trying and I'm dying here
Secondary laughs at every word
I know came out completely wrong
Stop these looks and letters
This isn't for the better,
you've stripped me down
It's for the worse
You're not my girl
(can't recall, I can't recall all the times)
I can't recall all the times
that she talked down to you
Letter's come again
And it's my last semester
And brothers always come first
It's my last semester (it's my last semester)
At least until next winter (at least until next winter)
But I'm sure that I'll be over this by then
Better scenes... I wish you'd seen me
Better off if I just let it be
Better pretend it don't matter
Better of if I could have her
Better days since the day I met her
I'd better hope she got my letters
Better off in two year stretches
Never and ever, wrecked his day
Looks and flirts and noontime in your shortest skirt
Past the point of trying, I'm a dying breed
Thank you for reminding me of all the things I've done completely wrong
This isn't for the better,
you've stripped me down
It's for the worse
You're not my girl
(can't recall, I can't recall all the times)
I can't recall all the times
that she talked down to you
Letter's come again
to my legs and break my bones
Dateless and late
I'm better by myself at home
Past the point of trying and I'm dying here
Secondary laughs at every word
I know came out completely wrong
This isn't for the better,
you've stripped me down
It's for the worse
You're not my girl
(can't recall, I can't recall all the times)
I can't recall all the times

An interesting spin on the subject is that the word "secondary" is a term in the polyamorous community. A primary partner is your priority, your main boyfriend/girlfriend/wife/husband, and a secondary partner is the partner who you have "on the side", who is not your main squeeze. From a polyamorous view, this song could be about what it's like to be the secondary, the one that isn't as important as the "real" boyfriend, and how much that can hurt.
this is it
this is it
brand new is awesome, as is this song
waaahooooo
this song kicks major ass. i can definately relate.
what a jam
brand new rules. whooohooo!
this song is quite similar to "the last chance to lose your keys" like..the whole plot of it and then "im better by myself at home"..."im better off home on a saturday night.." similaaarrr..still good song though
"Looks and flirts and MIDNIGHT in your shortest skirts" not "Looks and flirts and noontime in your shortest skirt "
no it is noontime...read the lyrics in the cd book
they never play this live
ok so to the meaning.. i dunno i think he's flirting/ having a thing with his friend's crush/ girlfriend? i dunno he seems like he's reluctant to like this girl even tho he already does...
