Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
The night is cold, you lie with ghosts you have let down,
An empty bed betrays you, you lie awake and wonder what went wrong
The lights have died, the love they gave on borrowed time,
And you'll melt into the walls, melt into the walls
Your time has run out, your time has run out,
They lied, they lied baby, and I tried I tried lately
I'll drink you slow, I'll drink you slow but for a price,
Water turns to poison and loving touch gives way to lonely nights
It's a fine white line, it's a fine white line you're stumbling across,
You'll melt into the walls, melt into the walls
Your time has run out, your time has run out,
They lied, they lied baby, and I tried I tried lately
Please don't you ask,
Please don't you ask me how it feels,
For she was the last,
To light up my night and make me sing
Your time has run out, your time has run out,
They lied, they lied baby, and I tried I tried lately
An empty bed betrays you, you lie awake and wonder what went wrong
The lights have died, the love they gave on borrowed time,
And you'll melt into the walls, melt into the walls
Your time has run out, your time has run out,
They lied, they lied baby, and I tried I tried lately
I'll drink you slow, I'll drink you slow but for a price,
Water turns to poison and loving touch gives way to lonely nights
It's a fine white line, it's a fine white line you're stumbling across,
You'll melt into the walls, melt into the walls
Your time has run out, your time has run out,
They lied, they lied baby, and I tried I tried lately
Please don't you ask,
Please don't you ask me how it feels,
For she was the last,
To light up my night and make me sing
Your time has run out, your time has run out,
They lied, they lied baby, and I tried I tried lately

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Mogwai? Which Mogwai song?
I was going to say that it sounded like a total Radiohead ripoff! That said, its a really amazing song, when you sound like Radiohead, that's likely to happen!
