Best Laid Plans

I'm kinda disappointed that I'm the first one commenting this song. It's so beautiful and what makes it even more beautiful is the fact that i kinda stumbled on it accidentally. To me this song is about someone really close to you dying. "I'm terrified To fly blind" kinda reminds me of like living without your friend/love and 'I called the show There's no reply' you know like wanting so desperately to be able to talk to them again but you cant because they're gone. I guess maybe its about death to me because this is the song that one of my friends uses to remember her best friend who died a while ago. This song is so emotional and beautiful.

Really beautiful And when I say that, I mean beautifully written, sung and performed.

JP once said that this song was about "the one that got away."

i'm gonna agree with amanda... "i'm terrified to fly blind" "the hunter's the hunted, i'm terrified, i'm open wide" referring to that he's alone now, and afraid. everything he's "hunted" for is now backfiring... it seems as though they're both trying to hang on (she says she's been hanging onto time, he wants to see her), but the "current" is pushing them away...the distance is spanning, no matter how good the plans were laid

I found more accurate lyrics for the song. It makes more sense than these ones. Who put's out the current and then calls "the show"? (No offense intended. I know how difficult it can be to guess the lyrics)

If I have alarmed you, I didn't try I'm tongue tied I've got to be honest, I'm terrified to fly blind I tried to disarm you I played this part a thousand times The hunter's the hunted I'm terrified I'm open wide

The distance is spanned between you and I Can I see you tonight? When the pen in our hands and our best laid plans Will stand alone on our side

I wanted to have this under control The story told You came and rewrote it opened the door I've never known You say that you hold them, the sands of time You never lie They pull like a current I call to shore There's no reply

The distance is spanned between you and I Can I see you tonight? When the pen in our hands and our best laid plans Will stand alone on our side

And I never wanted anything like this before

The distance is spanned between you and I Can I see you tonight? When the pen in our hands and our best laid plans Will stand alone on our side

The bridges that stand between you and I Come over tonight When the pen in our hands and our best laid plans Will stand alone on our side

Of mice and men on our side

i can relate to this song so well, i adore it.

I love everything about this song. I think it is about the 'hunter' finding out that the 'hunted' person is actually interested and it catches the 'hunter' off guard because they are so comfortable playing the game. Now the 'hunter' is vulnerable because it is in a new role.
