3 Times and You Lose Lyrics

I had a nightmare
I lived in a little town
where little dreams were broken
and words were seldom spoken

I tried to reach you
but all the lines were down
Summer rain began to fall
on this little town
...on this little town

The little people
have very little left to say
their words had all been shortened
they didn't really seem important

And I had a feeling
that you were very far away
but a little voice inside me said
you'll never get away from here

And it's 1, 2,
3 Times and you lose
of course it doesn't matter how you say it
I'm out of love
so there's nothing really more to say
I'm throwing it all away

And we had a peeling
but now we all faked to see
we never look at one another
only when another suffered

And if I saw you
then it was just another face
but I still don't blank horizon
lining on the human race

And it's 1, 2,
3 Times and you lose
of course it doesn't matter how you say it
I'm out of luck
so there's nothing really more to say
I'm throwing it all away

And it's 1, 2,
3 Times and you lose
I'm out of love
so there's nothing really more to say
I'm throwing it all away
throwing it all away
throwing it all away

"Little town" is a metaphore for the relation they are having: a town of two. They don't speak with each other, except to argue and fight. The singer is considering if he should finish his wreck of a relation, decides to throw it all away but, and I am guessing here, is perhaps also uncertain if he could ever get over her? (But then a little voice inside me said, You'll never get away from here)

Brilliant song. Right up there with the very best of "The Man Who" and "Invisible Band". Bit of a sad song, but excellent music.

Yeah! it reminds me of those sad songs they used to write like "paperclips", "last train", ect. One of my favorite ones from the new album =)
