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.
Your kiss was a perfect drug
It gave me the perfect high
How can cheaters fall in love
They all deserve to die
I need to feel you again
I need your lips on my skin
For one night I could be him
Well I could be better
In your eyes I thought I saw tomorrow
Now all I see is wasted time
Can we pretend it's always been OK
We never lost it all, lost it all
Can we pretend we never left this fate
We never lost it all, lost it all
This towns not much of a friend
After twenty-three days
My patience has reached it's end
But I'd take you back anyway
Hold your breath
You make the perfect sounds
This is what a love is made of
And baby you are missing out
In your eyes I thought I saw tomorrow
Now all I see is wasted time
Can we pretend it's always been OK
We never lost it all, lost it all
Can we pretend we never left this fate
We never lost it all, lost it all
Let's reintroduce our shadows
And watch them become one
This room is out of oxygen
And I'm not nearly done
The familiar shape of your body
Is how I know this is right
I'm not asking for tomorrow
I'm just asking for tonight
Can we pretend it's always been OK
We never lost it all, lost it all
Can we pretend we never left this fate
We never lost it all, lost it all
The familiar shape of your body
Is how I know this is right
Why worry about tomorrow
It gave me the perfect high
How can cheaters fall in love
They all deserve to die
I need to feel you again
I need your lips on my skin
For one night I could be him
Well I could be better
In your eyes I thought I saw tomorrow
Now all I see is wasted time
Can we pretend it's always been OK
We never lost it all, lost it all
Can we pretend we never left this fate
We never lost it all, lost it all
This towns not much of a friend
After twenty-three days
My patience has reached it's end
But I'd take you back anyway
Hold your breath
You make the perfect sounds
This is what a love is made of
And baby you are missing out
In your eyes I thought I saw tomorrow
Now all I see is wasted time
Can we pretend it's always been OK
We never lost it all, lost it all
Can we pretend we never left this fate
We never lost it all, lost it all
Let's reintroduce our shadows
And watch them become one
This room is out of oxygen
And I'm not nearly done
The familiar shape of your body
Is how I know this is right
I'm not asking for tomorrow
I'm just asking for tonight
Can we pretend it's always been OK
We never lost it all, lost it all
Can we pretend we never left this fate
We never lost it all, lost it all
The familiar shape of your body
Is how I know this is right
Why worry about tomorrow

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

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.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
she cheated... and they are through... possibly she left him for the other guy... but he still wants her even though she did what she did.. he wants everything to go back to the way it was... he's frusterated that they aren't together anymore because of what she did but he would still take her back if she wanted him back... i think in the end of the song that they spend a night together again and thats all he really wanted is for one more night to be the way it was before...
this song seems kinda bipolar but i love it... its such a great song
@gustava1986 <br /> I call it the perfect breakup song because it's so bipolar. Who hasn't had the relationship end in a big ball of flames and still want the person?
