sorry guys but i'm going to have to disagree on this song. maybe it's just the bitterness in love that i possess in myself that makes me see the song this way, but no matter i find that it is a hopeless love song because the love in question can never happen...or it has ended.
So take your suitcase, cause I don't mind
And baby doll, I meant it every time
I think that it's symbolizing that she's leaving him...their relationship has ceased. and also how he says that he "MEANT" it everytime. he's reassuring her, almost arguing saying that he REALLY meant it everytime he said he loved her...like a plea for her to stay.
also, i think the repeating of "everything will be alright" is more of a prayer for himself. like repeating it enough will make it true. it's almost sarcastic...and definitely bitter. in fact the whole tone of the song seems dreary and dark, like a funeral.
so i can see how the first listen to the song it seems to be rather optimistic, but i think brandon's message is a more bitter, sarcastic one.
