This could be the very minute
I'm aware I'm alive
All these places feel like home
With a name I'd never chosen
I can make my first steps
As a child of twenty-five
This is the straw, final straw in the
Roof of my mouth as I lie to you
Just because I'm sorry doesn't mean
I didn't enjoy it at the time
You're the only thing that I love
Scares me more every day
On my knees I think clearer
Goodness knows I saw it coming
Or at least I'll claim I did
But in truth I'm lost for words
What have I done? It's too late for that
What have I become? Truth is nothing yet
A simple mistake starts the hardest time
I promise I'll do anything you ask, this time
I'm aware I'm alive
All these places feel like home
With a name I'd never chosen
I can make my first steps
As a child of twenty-five
This is the straw, final straw in the
Roof of my mouth as I lie to you
Just because I'm sorry doesn't mean
I didn't enjoy it at the time
You're the only thing that I love
Scares me more every day
On my knees I think clearer
Goodness knows I saw it coming
Or at least I'll claim I did
But in truth I'm lost for words
What have I done? It's too late for that
What have I become? Truth is nothing yet
A simple mistake starts the hardest time
I promise I'll do anything you ask, this time

Well, everyone visiting this web page should care, except for the likes of you, obviously. The point of this entire website is to find meaning behind songs, not to let everyone know how much you love the song.
I like cheryluk's observation that lies, like cheating, are addictive and sweet. I personally thought that this song is named chocolate b/c it is an apology and a plea to a girl. Apologies by cheating men are often accompanied by a gift, such as flowers...or chocolates.
"This could be the very minute

The first verse is the best in the whole song.
"...as I lie to you
Just because i'm sorry doesn't mean
I didn't enjoy it at the time"
i love the next part
"You're the only thing that I love
Scares me more every day"
putting all your hopes and trust in one person may be quite scary.
he is obviously trying to regain her trust and start their relationship over again as he says that he promises he willl do anything this time.
This is the straw, final straw in the
Roof of my mouth as I lie to you
Just because i'm sorry doesn't mean
I didn't enjoy it at the time.
You're the only thing that I love
Scares me more every day
On my knees I think clearer
Goodness knows I saw it coming
Or at least I'll claim I did
But in truth I'm lost for words
Reminds me of some1 being caught having an affair and he is grovelling for forgiveness
Just because i'm sorry doesn't mean
I didn't enjoy it at the time.
You could see this as a response to the question: "Did you enjoy it?" which wouldn't have been asked about a drugs issue.
The final straw, I think, is him expressing anger toward himself for his actions. The comment about being sorry and enjoying whatever he did just seems like raw honesty to me. Perhaps he just wants to be completely open with whoever he is speaking to.
The next part is maybe the most clear, to me anyway. He loves the person he is speaking to, and that realization frightens him. We probably all know what that is like. Being on his knees most likely symbolizes begging for forgiveness.
I think he didn't see it coming...because he says "or at least I'll claim I did." In truth, he is speechless and maybe shocked toward how strongly he feels.
Next he realizes it is too late to turn back from whatever wrong he committed. He then says that he hasn't yet amounted to anything in life.
His promise I think represents more begging.
I love this song, and without it, I wouldn't have ever gotten into this band.
