Symmetry Lyrics
I stayed awake just long enough to see you. Remember Winnipeg, and feeling simpler back then? I took a week off from my band and flew out, it was a Saturday; I saw you waiting by the plane. I was always in a way just a long shot; I was never in the clear of that. I am lucky just to be a potential, but I will always make a mess of that. I traded symmetry for everything I loved. I took my feelings out and I had told you I was done. I know your mistakes, does that bother you that I found where they stay? Can I reach you yet? I stood up so fast and I let you down. It was the first time that I heard, I heard that sound. It filled my head with the darkest shade of black and I found you there. I realized then that I was just a little sad, and I left you there.

Its about the main guy of the band; whose having some success with the band, and can't invest much into his life before that. The guy clearly likes this life better, and sees it as a one in a million chance; making him want people to get off his back.
Song has two concepts I believe-
First off, its a kid who's band is making it big and he comes back on a flight to break up with his girl because he doesn't think he can handle both and chooses his music career. When he thinks back on it he really regrets it, because he knew her so well after being invested for so long before everything.
Secondly, this kid expresses how he was "always in a way just a long shot" and "I am lucky just to be a potential" expressing how he never thought he'd really make it in music.
