ya know...i had a experience not too long ago that totally made me think different about this song..i was dating a girl for awhile and she broke it off with me..and i love this girl soo much..it hurt..well i continued to love her for a long time and tried alot to get back with her until finally one day i realized that all she did was treat me like shit and i deserved so much more...well one day she came to me and wanted me back..but at that moment she almost seemed dead to me..like i didnt want anything to do with here..so this experience made me think..maybe he had a relationship like mine..just bear with me and think outside the box for a moment...
i never said i'd lie in wait forever
(he got tired of wating for her to love him again)
if i died we'd be together
(she is dead to him now..and hes using death as a metaphor saying if he died then they would both be dead)
i can't always just forget her
(it was hard getting over her)
but she could try
(now he thinks she should try getting over him)
at the end of the world
or the last thing i see
(she is the last thing he sees now)
you are never coming home, never coming home
could i? should i?
(saying he wont get back with her..but does contemplate it "could i? should i")
and all the things that you never ever told me
and all the smiles that are ever, ever, ever
(maybe about all the lies...and now he knows and he wont be haunted by her smiles anymore)
get the feeling that you're never
all alone
(implying the cheating she did with other men)
and i remember now
at the top of my lungs, in my arms
she dies, she dies
(she finally told him about the lies and now she is def. dead to him)
the rest of the song is pretty much the same...i could easily be wrong..but please give it a look and think about it...i love MCR and they show so much depth on this album and i see a huge future for these guys..thanks for listening

@lost_all_chance This is one of the most painfully relatable interpretations I've ever read. What a song.
