I interpret this song to be about a girl admitting something awful she did to the lyricist. She cares about him, but is not on the same page as him.
I still can remember what you did. Your eyes full of discomfort, bare foot in a public washroom.
She's telling him, and really uncomfortable about it, very out of place.
Spill on me your nostalgia like warm water and cataracts that that fell behind self conscious eyes.
The accused is trying to soften the situation and make him feel comfortable by reminiscing about the good times in the past.
Hurt so good through ivory rain and cut throat soap box derby racers. I want you to ruin me.
The realization that it hurts so bad, but maybe he was asking for it by staying with her, it's clear that he was optimistic about someone who didn't deserve it, and the "I want you to ruin me" is self post-reaction.
please just give me back my heart, it has been too long and i will burn no more...please just give me back my heart, it has been too long and i will burn no more, tired of all these lies and elsewhere eyes of yours, so i will scream and dream of whats to come.
Dallas' part is kind of summarizing what he now feels. He's been hurt, and wants to just forget the person and move on to what's to come, because he knows staying with her is just asking for more of the same, it's hard to get over some people though, even if they hurt you worse than you ever felt you could have been hurt.
Hey, it's emo music, if you're looking for some existential explaination to this stuff, you're looking in the wrong place, if you're looking for unusually sincere lyrics and great instrumentals, you've come to the right place.
