Cover art for C'mere lyrics by Interpol

"It's way too late to be this locked inside ourselves"

They're too close to be hurt, in other words they got too involved with each other, now that they have to break up, it sucks. Or this could mean it's too late to fix things since they're focused on themselves now.

"The trouble is that you're in love with someone else It should be me. Oh, it should be me"

Self-explanitory. The problem is she likes someone, it should be him, but isn't.

"Your sacred parts, your get aways You come along on summer days Tenderly, tastefully"

She's going out with other guys, but still spends time with him, never getting too close.

"And so may we make time Try to find somebody else This place is mine"

They need to both go find someone else. This place is mine could be talking about living arrangements, or his friends (she is trying to invade his social circle maybe), or just his feeling in general towards who's given in the relationship.

"You said today, you know exactly how I feel I had my doubts little girl I'm in love with something real"

He told her he'll be sad when she's gone, and she says she feels the same. He knows it's not true, though, because he actually loves her, and her feelings for him are superficial.

"It could be me that's changing"

It's me, not you.

"And so may we make time To try and find somebody else Who has a line"

A line could refer to someone who has something to say, or a place in their lives, or it could be a coke reference.

"Now season with health Two lovers walk a lakeside mile Try pleasing with stealth, growing old See what stands long or ending fast"

It's pointless to stay in the relationship. her love isn't real.

Oh, how I love you In the evenings, when we are sleeping We are sleeping. Oh, we are sleeping

And so may we make time We try to find somebody else Who has a line

Now season with health Two lovers walk a lakeside mile Try pleasing with stealth, growing old See what stands long or ending fast
