This is off the 'Capitol Demos' disc. It's nothing like the other 'No Angel' which is actually pre-Anthony (really old) but this one isn't bad. It's pretty easy to figure out I reckon, the speaker is basically saying their significant other; 'we should break up,' because "there's nothing going on" i.e. the relationship ain't goin' nowhere. Whatsmore, they basically want to get forget the whole thing. Thus the lines: "Take it back and rewind this tape" and "I never wanted to hear all the things that you told me." In the repeated line, "Cause you wouldn't take me home" the phrase 'take me home' is a metanym of 'taking me into your life.' By 'coming home tonight' themselves, the speaker is indicating that they have given up hope of the relationship moving forward, and are instead looking for a relationship elsewhere. Of course this is all my interpretation, I'd like to hear other peoples as well.
