Oh no, love just leaves you bruised
if you want to know
you find something to lose
the world won't turn
until something breaks
who will make the first last mistake
you say good things come
to those who wait
Into the spiral
your world or my world
its never final
love just leaves you bruised
I went because you said you'd be there
a box of candy, smoke in your hair
when I didn't know I didn't care
but now I know,
love just leaves you bruised
Oh no, love just leaves you screwed
you got to go slow
cause love just leaves you bruised
Into the spiral
your world or my world
its never final
love just leaves you bruised
Now I know love just leaves you bruised
and iv'e got the scars to prove it.
I went because you said you'd be there
a box of candy, smoke in your hair
Explain it to me again and again,
like I care.

Let me start out by saying, I LOVE THIS SONG...
Okay.. I was thinking about the line
I went because you said you'd be there a box of candy, smoke in your hair when I didn't know I didn't care but now I know, love just leaves you bruised
and I've always taken it to be just what it said...
a guy goes to a bar or something to meet a girl, brings her chocolate.. blah....
but I was thinking, maybe it's more than that.
Like, I was friends with this girl but I knew she was emotionally unavailable, so I didn't "let myself fall" for her... but then she started flirting with me and the next thing I knew, bam, I had fallen.
So it's like... "I went because you said you'd be there" means "I let myself fall for you because you said you'd catch me."
And the line "box of chocolates" could mean you went into it (bar/relationship) thinking that it would be a box of chocolates and what you got was "smoke in your hair"...
See where I'm going with this?
cool song.
sooooo good
fabulous but it's the bens, not ben folds, it's from a collaboration he did with ben lee and ben kweller
ben folds wrote this song
Yeah it was the bens, but Ben Folds released it on supersunnyspeedgraphic, the ep
I don't follow Bseely
I get it, bseely. I like that idea.
I really just like the whole meaning of this song...it's pretty much exactly how I've been feeling lately.
I can see this as the self-destructiveness of unrequited love. You wish you could leave the "spiral" but ultimately it's either "your world or my world."
Maybe that's just because I have a massive crush on a heavy smoker. Who knows.
I think he's in love with this girl.
And she's cheated on him.
And he's devastated.
That's what I see in the lyrics at least.
