Trade Places Lyrics
I wanna be somewhere
The light of your face is gleaming through your hair
And I wanna trade places with the one who you've trusted
For deepest embraces and all of your secrets
And I wanna trade places, yeah
Tear us down
And the unlighted moon that never strays too far from the world
And like the rest of this town
Besides a selected few, I will always look back kindly on you
But I think that I've had enough
Uh huh
So I wanna be somewhere
The light of your face is gleaming through your hair
And I wanna trade places with the people you trusted
For deepest embraces; the key to your soul
And its intimate spaces, yeah
Burn it down
What else is there to do?
They never let our innocence go.
Now I know that I've had enough
So I wanna be somewhere
The light of your face is gleaming through your hair
And I wanna trade places with the people you trusted
For deepest embraces and and the key to your soul
And its intimate spaces, yeah
And for the rest of your life
I wanna be somewhere
The light of your face is gleaming through your hair
And I wanna trade places with the people you've trusted
For deepest embraces
The key to your heart
And it's infinite spaces
Cause the anger in my eyes was once unforgiving
From the tedious sunrise of unfulfilled living
But it might be good nature that keeps us believing
Cause I don't wanna hate you
Or cry as you're leaving, yeah
The light of your face is gleaming through your hair
And I wanna trade places with the one who you've trusted
For deepest embraces and all of your secrets
And I wanna trade places, yeah
And the unlighted moon that never strays too far from the world
And like the rest of this town
Besides a selected few, I will always look back kindly on you
But I think that I've had enough
Uh huh
The light of your face is gleaming through your hair
And I wanna trade places with the people you trusted
For deepest embraces; the key to your soul
And its intimate spaces, yeah
What else is there to do?
They never let our innocence go.
So I wanna be somewhere
The light of your face is gleaming through your hair
And I wanna trade places with the people you trusted
For deepest embraces and and the key to your soul
And its intimate spaces, yeah
I wanna be somewhere
The light of your face is gleaming through your hair
And I wanna trade places with the people you've trusted
For deepest embraces
The key to your heart
And it's infinite spaces
From the tedious sunrise of unfulfilled living
But it might be good nature that keeps us believing
Cause I don't wanna hate you
Or cry as you're leaving, yeah

I think this song is talking about how Juliet wants to "trade places" with her crush's girlfriend. She wants him to trust her with his secrets and she wants him to know that she will always be there for him for him to hug and confide in. I think near the middle of the song she starts to say that she's done trying and she is going to try to move on. She has "had enough" of watching the one she loves love someone else. For some reason she keeps believing that she will love him and she doesn't want to love him but she doesn't want to hate him, either. She wants to be able to act like it's nothing when he tells her that he doesn't love her back but at the same time she doesn't want to hate him, she just wants to like him as a friend.
