How Come You Never Go There

He is present in reality but doesnt fulfill her needs emotionally. He is not there, his love is not there anymore. She wants his love back. She wants what they once had, but she feels as if it is because of him that things are not working. "How come you never go there" ... i.e. why don't you do anything to fix this. She's calmly crying out "you carry on, as if I dont love you" "like your letters never sent me your words like a lasso you're an instrumental tune"

From the actual album's poster:

how come you never go there? how come I'm so alone there?

I went up to the window Lighting banging on the cymbals I ripped into the night Came storm into your house

The horse had worked the fields too long My bear had lost its innate calm It's true enough we're not at peace But truth is never what it seems

My heart is not the light it was And when I walk inside the dark I'm gone So while we look for where it went It's only echoes in the valley love

Why waste time on blame and wreak revenge Waste energy on projections We're living proof we gotta let go And stop looking through the halo

We carry on as if the time is through You carry on as if I don't love you And so we find the way is out To cut the heart out of the doubt now

The room's full but hearts are empty Like the letters never sent me Words are like a lasso But you're an instrumental tune

How come you never go there? How come I'm so alone there?

She's talking about an unrequited love, the person she is in love with (we will call this person C) doesn't feel the same way. No matter what she does to try and win C over, he just doesn't feel the same way, hence "how come you never go there" you can tell this isn't a lost love because she says, " how come you NEVER go there," not why won't you ever go there — you can see that C never felt that way, and she's talking about the struggle to move past that. Still wanting C, but somehow knowing it won't happen

For the two blanks, I believe they are: when I walk inside the dark "I'm calm" and words like a "lasso"

This song feels like a dream. Maybe its her dream?

I think shes expressing the way she feels so alone,he's empty

"the room's full eyes are empty like your letters never sent me your words are like a lasso you're an instrumental tune" ....Very reflective

not seein' anything up there...here's what i'm hearing:

how come you never go there? how come i'm so alone there?

how come you never go there? how come i'm so alone there? i went up to your window lightning banging on the cymbals i writ into the night, keep stormin' til you rise my horse had worked the fields too long my bear had lost his innate calm it's true enough we're not at peace, but peace is never what it seems our love is not the light it was when i walk inside the dark i'm calm when we looked for where it went it's only echos in the melody

how come you never go there? how come i'm so alone there?

how come you never go there? how come i'm so alone there? we waste time on blame, I wreak revenge waste energy and projections we're living proof we gotta let go and stop looking through but lay-low we carry on as if our time is through you carry on as if i don't love you and so we find the way to lie to cover hard I have a doubt, now the room is full of eyes and empty like your letters never sent me your words like a lasso you're an instrumental tune

how come you never go there? how come i'm so alone there?
