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.
I said, we'll drown ourselves in misery tonight
White lies, you've worn out all your dancing shoes this time
Just give us war, worn lipstick, blood, and purifying flame
These eyes have had too much to drink again tonight
Black skies, we'll douse ourselves in high explosive light
Just give us war, worn, I've been calling you all week for my shotgun
Pick up the phone
Pick up the phone, fucker
I wanna see what you're insides look like (I want to see what your insides look like)
I bet you're not fucking pretty on the inside (not so pretty)
I wanna see what you're insides look like (you're not so pretty baby)
I wanna see ‘em (not so)
Well you don't say
And well I can't explain what happened to my faith late last night
I sleep in empty pools and vacant alleyways
And what I'm goin’ through, shot lip gloss through my veins
And well, I can't complain
With the falling rain
C'mon
I wanna save your heart
I wanna see what your insides may be like
White lies, you've worn out all your dancing shoes this time
Just give us war, worn lipstick, blood, and purifying flame
These eyes have had too much to drink again tonight
Black skies, we'll douse ourselves in high explosive light
Just give us war, worn, I've been calling you all week for my shotgun
Pick up the phone
Pick up the phone, fucker
I wanna see what you're insides look like (I want to see what your insides look like)
I bet you're not fucking pretty on the inside (not so pretty)
I wanna see what you're insides look like (you're not so pretty baby)
I wanna see ‘em (not so)
Well you don't say
And well I can't explain what happened to my faith late last night
I sleep in empty pools and vacant alleyways
And what I'm goin’ through, shot lip gloss through my veins
And well, I can't complain
With the falling rain
C'mon
I wanna save your heart
I wanna see what your insides may be like

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.
The Night We Met

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
