I finally understand this song after going through probably the biggest heartbreak of my entire life. I see it as these two people were horribly in love and now something happened between them and the other person is trying their best to get them back and to show them how much they mean to them. The line about the eyes gets to me more than any other phrase ever could. So here is my very personal and emo interpretation of "My List".
Let me wrap myself around you
Let show me show you how I see it
And when you come back in from nowhere
Do you ever think of me?
Your heart, not able
Let me show you, how much I care
[Let me hold you and love you and I can show you where you've gone wrong. I can show you the way I see; I see we can be happy if you'd let me explain to you how I feel. Now that you've left me, do you think of me as much as I think of you? I know that your heart isn't able to love me like it was able and I know you're scared to love me again, but I could fix it if you could give me a chance to show you how much you mean to me.]
I need those eyes to tide me over
I'll take your picture when I go
Gives me strength and gives me patience
But I'll never let you know
I got nothing on you babe
But I always said I'll try
Let me show you
How much I care
Sometimes it gets hard
Don't you know?
[Your eyes are, and have always been, the one thing that could pull me through the worst. I'll take your picture with me now that I can't have those eyes. I need them give me strength and hope in life and you could never understand what they mean to me. Even though you've hurt me, I've got nothing on you. I don't want to get back at you. I always told you I'd always love you and I'd always try to keep you, so I'm going to hold up to my word and do whatever I can to keep you by my side. We both know that love is hard, but you have to try when things seem the bleakest.]
Don’t give the ghost up
just clench your fist
You should have known by now
You were on my list
(x3)
Your heart, not able
Your ways, they're not able
Let me show you (x3)
How much I care
[Please, just don't give up on us. Be strong and I know we can make it. After all this time, you should've know that I love you more than anything. Again, I know your heart is scared to love me and you don't know if you can anymore. But I can show you something new if you'd give me and us one more chance.]
