Pickpocket

I have two possible interpretations of this song. The first is innocent enough. There's a guy in this girl's hometown that she has a brief thing with, but he wants something more serious than she's ready for so she dumps him. Then, later in her life, after she's moved away and lived somewhere else for a time, she comes back home, finds old letters he wrote her, and regrets letting him go.

The second is that I think this song could be about an abortion. She has a relationship (or maybe just sex) with this guy and gets pregnant. He obviously is family-oriented (protect your family, keep them from harm, live peacefully, and he wants to grow old with her) and wants a traditional family life, but she doesn't, and she doesn't love him, so she terminates the pregnancy because she doesn't want to be bound to him and the traditional life that she'll have if she stays with him and has the kid. Then a while after that she finds old letters that he wrote her and regrets what she did. The only reason I went to the abortion idea is because of the repetition of "out, baby out, baby out." I also think that she doesn't tell him about the pregnancy or the abortion because of "before it catches up with you and you cannot withstand." She's afraid that he and everyone else will find out and she won't be able to withstand the way people will treat her after that and he won't be able to withstand the pain of knowing that she robbed him of the chance to be a father.

I don't know; the second one might be a bit of a reach, but that's how I took it. Either way, I see this as a pretty sad song about regret.

And now I guess that you've, you've done aswell

it's 'that you've moved on as well'

Picked you out a pocket, and you fell into the road You asked me if I'd make it better You asked me if we could grow old together But you don't mean a thing to me So I'll walk by quite happily And now I guess that you've moved on as well

You took me to the bricks You start to build a wall Keep peace intact Protect your family Keep them from harm and peacfully. but they came crumbling down The second you left town. And now your family are gone all gone

Understand me, take me fully Underground where I can not be found Understand me, take me, fully Underground where I can not be found

and letter that you wrote That had been stashed inside my wall Telling me all about your life It had been there for quite a while *it skipped out certain chapters That i thought had really mattered And now i feel like i missed out

Out, baby out, get out of town Baby out, baby out, get out Baby out, baby out, get out of town Before it catches up with you And you cannot withstand Before it catches up with you And you cannot withstand Before it catches up with you And you cannot withstand

Kate said that this song was about wanting to get out of town. She thinks. Haha.

She said it's about wanting to get out of town? Then I don't really get the lyrics :D
