Either Way, I'll Break Your Heart Someday Lyrics
all I have about the way things go,
I don't know, I just don't know,
make up some simple lies,
and compromise how I live,
'cause either way, I'll break your heart someday,
but leaving you is the last thing on my mind,
so when I go, baby kiss real slow,
so I don't forget to make my way back home,
when I go,
sail away on a wayward ship,
with candy lips in my grip,
cheap perfume, it never lies,
and I can't supply any good alibis,
well I miss you in the winter,
your friends say I should listen,
but can't you see I've loved you all along?
well if America don't like me,
you can say I finally became a man,
who only likes a gun,
shoot anyone, shoot anyone...
I don't know, I just don't know,
make up some simple lies,
and compromise how I live,
but leaving you is the last thing on my mind,
so when I go, baby kiss real slow,
so I don't forget to make my way back home,
when I go,
with candy lips in my grip,
cheap perfume, it never lies,
and I can't supply any good alibis,
your friends say I should listen,
but can't you see I've loved you all along?
well if America don't like me,
you can say I finally became a man,
who only likes a gun,
shoot anyone, shoot anyone...

I love this song, and I love the way they sing it. I'm guessing it's about a young relationship. You know you're probably going to date alot of people before you settle.
That's just my guess. Let me know if it really means something more specific :)
i love this song. one of the best on the album x
I think that it's about a new relationship, and when it's new you don't know whether or not it's going to last, but either way you know someone's going to get hurt. even if they get married and have kids and grow old together, one day someone's going to die and break the other person's heart, not to mention all of those slip ups that happen because we are human. It's a wonderful way to put it... so when I go, baby kiss real slow, so I don't forget to make my way back home, when I go which really makes you think he's in it for the long haul, until he dies. :)
Pretty. Not sure what it's about.
I think that this song is about a relationship between two people who shouldn't be together. One that everyone knows is not going to work out from the very beginning. He knows he will break her heart someday. But that doesn't mean he doesn't love her or leaving her isn't the last thing on his mind.
It seems like most of the other comments are about a new relationship and knowing whether or not it will work out. But I guess I hear it as a more complicated relationship...The terms like "wayward ship," "cheap perfume,oh, it never lies and can't supply any good alibis," "compromise how i live," and everything about going home make me wonder if this is about falling in love and pursing a relationship outside of your primary relationship. I guess I feel like its saying i know this will end and we will be heart broken, but lets enjoy it while we still can (so when i go, kiss real slow).
