I Never Wanted To

About wanting to turn back time to fix problems

we've had one chance to take back, but over and over again i'll clean your wounds tonight so we can rewind it all until i come inside

basicly saying that something went wrong between him and someone. Possibly a fight. The speaker wants to rewind everything that happened and just forget everything that happened "before he came inside". This would suggest he was going to someone's house or meeting them somewhere to talk maybe? Could be that he's in a relationship with this person.

i'll tear in two and never lie to you cause you wouldn't take me home

This is the line that makes me think Cove is talking about being away from someone when touring with Saosin. "tear in two" means he'll supposedly try to be in two places at once. (on tour and with this person) and obviously "never lie to you" means he'll never make the same mistake again. But by the next line, it is clear that the person won't take him back.

your eyes are yet to be clear now cause you wouldn't take me home

I can't figure out this first line... Could mean that the person is crying about the speaker.

you were right and i wasn't listening i never told you what you were missing

first line is more apologies. Second line is questionable. It could mean a lot of stuff.

i never wanted to hear, (i never wanted to) we are the only ones we are running from i never wanted to hear, (i never want to) we are the only ones we are running from

self explanatory kind of. the last line is maybe saying that they're only running from themselves and theres no reason to be doing that.

this was the only way we knew how to make everything just okay

fits into the first verse. Maybe the only way to come out of the relationship okay was for them to stop talking. This could be because cove was on tour and that was the only way they new to fix things?

i'll make it up tonight the sun was two steps too close with his waking eyes

I'm not sure what the first line means. How is he going to make it up to the person given the past few lines? I dont know. The second line might mean that they didnt have enough time to do something?

we'll make believe that everything's alright cause you wouldn't take me home your eyes are yet to be clear now cause you wouldn't take me home you're right i wasn't lsitening i never told you what you were missing i never wanted to hear, (i never wanted to) we are the only ones we are running from i never wanted to hear, (i never wanted to) we are the only ones we are running from i never wanted to hear (i never wanted to) we are the only one we are running from i never wanted to hear we are the only ones we are running from

more of same

i want to break it off we should stop cause theres nothing going on

goes back to support the evidence of Cove being away. Theres nothing going on because he cant be with this person.

this is a new version of 'no angel'

this isn't the new version of No Angel. That is "come close"

"Come Close" is a new version of "I've Become What Ive Always Hated" This is a revamped version of No Angel

Bobert is right.

nice name..bobert. but yeah hes right.

No comments? Awesome song, I really like it. This and "come close" are my favourites off the new album.

Favorite Song. Hands down.

Are you kidding me? They ruined the song. New Angel was much better. What happened to my break down? What happened to the lyrics? I'm so disappointed in this album. Cove's lyricism has suffered. Rewriting three songs off of your EP, and doing two out of three of them poorly doesn't make a better album. They were fine as they were, why re-record them.

"This time it's over..."

my favorite song on the new album...well i like them all. haha
