High life
Good times for a change
See, the life I've had
Would make a good man bad
So please, please, please
Let me get what I want
Lord knows it would be the first time
Haven't had a dream in a long time
See, the life I've had
Could make a good man bad
So for once in my life
Let me get what I want
Lord knows it would be the last time
Lord knows it would be the first time
See, the life I've had
Would make a good man bad
So please, please, please
Let me get what I want
Lord knows it would be the first time
Haven't had a dream in a long time
See, the life I've had
Could make a good man bad
So for once in my life
Let me get what I want
Lord knows it would be the last time
Lord knows it would be the first time

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
chino makes any song rock... but anyways, i've always wanted the deftones to cover "boys don't cry" by the cure. that song is fuckin awesome
i love the deftones. i love the cure more. don't get me wrong...i know the 'tones would do it well... but come on, "boys don't cry" has been covered too many times.

love deftones love this cover
Deftones are the Smiths meets Nu Metal
@BERC-3000 Fuck Nu Metal. Deftones definitely aren't Nu Metal. They were totally lumped into that shitty genre but they are so much more.
whoever did these lyrics is a moron
decent cover.
Smiths were fucking genius. A great band in the midst of the worst musical decade ever.
hey, Smith were a great band, and the 80's were not as bad as you think. I mean, not everything was Madonna, Michael Jackson and fucking Kyle Minogue and the stupid Locomotion or whatever. It was the decade of The cure (another big influence on the present metal scene), and Joy division among others... !!
i'd hate to say it but sometimes i think chino writes song just so he can make niose, sry sry sry chino!!!
