By the Way Lyrics
one two three four
so you would be my one bad thing
never when you tried
i let the fire burn out again
and then inside
so let my tears be realized
before my eyes are turned
and every lie i've tried before
won't work no more i've learned
drowning or bathing
i've found out
what you meant
by the way
knowledge unexpectedly
that you and me could be
quiet the voices in my head
warm my bed tonight
so you could be my one again
never when you tried
drowning or bathing
i've found out
what you meant
by the way
so you would be my one bad thing
never when you tried
i let the fire burn out again
and then inside
before my eyes are turned
and every lie i've tried before
won't work no more i've learned
i've found out
what you meant
by the way
that you and me could be
quiet the voices in my head
warm my bed tonight
so you could be my one again
never when you tried
i've found out
what you meant
by the way

this is an after the fact song about someone he was in love with, they had a bad falling out and they had a chance to be together again. They didn't speak openly enough on what they meant to say and he's kicking himself in the butt about it.
so let my tears be realized before my eyes are turned
He wants her to acknoweledge how he is feeling, so that there may eventually be a resolve, instead of ignoring the real issues that caused the relationship to fade, or "The fire to burn out again"
