In Case Lyrics
Pictures in my pocket, all faded from the washer, I can barely just makeout your face.
Food you saved for later, in my refrigerator, it's been to long since later never came.
I know, one day eventually, yeah I know, one day I'll let it all go.
But I keep it just in case, yeah I keep it just in case.
In case you don't find what you're looking for.
In case, you're missing what you had before.
In case you change you're mind, I'll be waiting in case you just want to come home.
Strong enough to leave you, but weak enough to leave you, cared enough to let you walk away.
I took that dirty jacket, from the trash right where you left it, 'cause I couldn't stand to see it go to waste.
And I know, one day eventually, I know, one day I'll have to let it all go.
But I keep it just in case, yeah I keep it just in case.
In case, you don't find what you're looking for,
In case, you're missing what you had before,
In case you change you're mind, I'll be waiting here,
In case, you just want to come home, in case you're looking in that mirror one day and miss my arms, how they wrapped around you're waist and I say that you can love me again even if it isn't the case,
Ohh, you don't find what you're looking for
Ohh ohh, you're missing my love,
You don't find you're looking for,
In case you're missing what you had before
In case you change you're mind, I'll be waiting,
In case you just want to come home,
In case
Ohh, ohh
Food you saved for later, in my refrigerator, it's been to long since later never came.
I know, one day eventually, yeah I know, one day I'll let it all go.
But I keep it just in case, yeah I keep it just in case.
In case you don't find what you're looking for.
In case, you're missing what you had before.
In case you change you're mind, I'll be waiting in case you just want to come home.
Strong enough to leave you, but weak enough to leave you, cared enough to let you walk away.
I took that dirty jacket, from the trash right where you left it, 'cause I couldn't stand to see it go to waste.
And I know, one day eventually, I know, one day I'll have to let it all go.
But I keep it just in case, yeah I keep it just in case.
In case, you don't find what you're looking for,
In case, you're missing what you had before,
In case you change you're mind, I'll be waiting here,
In case, you just want to come home, in case you're looking in that mirror one day and miss my arms, how they wrapped around you're waist and I say that you can love me again even if it isn't the case,
Ohh, you don't find what you're looking for
Ohh ohh, you're missing my love,
You don't find you're looking for,
In case you're missing what you had before
In case you change you're mind, I'll be waiting,
In case you just want to come home,
In case
Ohh, ohh

I think this song is about holding on to something that you know you should let go of. Whether they left you or you left them, it's hard to let go of something you've always wanted. It's when every part of you wants to rip up his letters and burn his clothes... but then you find yourself sitting on your bedroom floor in his jacket re-reading it. "Strong enough to leave you, but weak enough to need you." You'd go back to him in a heartbeat even when you know you shouldn't. You keep everything just in case he ever comes running back. Just in case he changes his mind, you still have everything, including your feelings for him.
I think this song basically mean that someone cannot let someone they once loved go and are so upset of the fact that person has left them. They can't seem to let go all the memories and objects that are still with them. If they still love them than they'd keep everything until the feelings disconnect from them and that's when they're able to let them go. It goes on saying that if they don't find anyone better than them than they will take them back in an instant. It also goes on to say what many people say when they break up with someone.. Majority of relationships end because another person feels as though they're not right for each other and break it off, even if they don't want to.
