Au Revoir Lyrics
Today I'm not myself
And you, you're someone else
And all these rules don't fit
And all that starts can quit
What a peculiar state, we're in
What a peculiar state, we're in
Let's play a game
Where all of the lives we lead can change
Let's play a game
Where nothing that we can is see is the same
But we'll find other pieces to the puzzles
Slippin' out under the locks
I could show you how many moves to checkmate right now
We could take apart this life we're building
And pack it up inside a box
All that really matters is we're doing it right now
Right now
But we'll find other pieces to the puzzles
Slippin' out under the locks
I could show you how many moves to checkmate right now
We could take apart this life we're building
And pack it up inside a box
All that really matters is we're doing it right now
Right now
And you, you're someone else
And all these rules don't fit
And all that starts can quit
What a peculiar state, we're in
Where all of the lives we lead can change
Let's play a game
Where nothing that we can is see is the same
Slippin' out under the locks
I could show you how many moves to checkmate right now
We could take apart this life we're building
And pack it up inside a box
All that really matters is we're doing it right now
Right now
Slippin' out under the locks
I could show you how many moves to checkmate right now
We could take apart this life we're building
And pack it up inside a box
All that really matters is we're doing it right now
Right now

Au Revoir means goodbye in French. The title, coupled with the opening tone & lyrics, would suggest a break up.
However, while the relationship has definitely hit a breaking point, the song is really about creating a fresh start:
"Let's play a game Where all of the lives we lead, can change"
He's singing about their hopes & dreams, maybe what they had planned for themselves. What they're going through doesn't have to be the only way. He's willing to take all their baggage, whatever hurtful things that have been said, and just put it aside, "pack it up inside a box". All that really matters is that they do it ASAP.
On a side note, I absolutely love it when a piano track makes on the album.
@Fogmoz Totally agree with your interpretation. Also love it when a piano track makes it on an album :) Great song +1
