I am completly in love with this song! It (with December) is what made me fall in love with the band. This song is somewhat of a codependants anthem... hah jk sorta
I can't stay over you.
"It seems we drive forever but can never get away from here-"nomatter what you do they are always there
"just one more try."just wanting to be with them
I'm guessing you are over me,
I guess it's bravery.
"Because it's black out the window
while you sleep in the passenger seat." this is where i think that they are still friends because they are in a car going soemwhere. This is if you are taking it literally, but it could be a metaphor for life and going soemwhere
"So when it's always on your mind but you never speak of the name.
It's in your blood and face and I'm certain it's fame." the past loveis on that person's mind.. so much that the person has become almost part of them
"So I stayed out in the car because the weather had gotten to me.
But its really these road signs and freeways that I cant take". Ok im going to play with the metaphor theory... not being able to take that they are growing apart, the more times and distance(not literal) that is between them the more irrational the obesssion and love with the past becomes. it also hurts more, because everything is changing and that person is no longer with them.
"This can't be how you live."- spoekn from friends of the person thinking of their past love
"It's like a ball and chain around your waist or this simple state." they make things so dificult that you are a prisoner to them, a ball and chain, pulling you down
"Your mind's sick again".- your thoughts keep going back to them, you are plagued
"I'm tasting nothing but 4 words,
Please don't leave me."-- nomatter what happens you just want to be with them becuase they are such a part of you
"And it's Dark in the winter so your ideas start to sleep." maybe seasonal depression? mayybeee also as time passes, the love(tahat occured during the summer) fades more and more. they start to loose the hopes they once had for the relationship
"Well your head is spinning like that carousel,
and I know you're a mess after 3 or 4".- tryint to deal with it, making your head spin from all the thoughts, ideas and memnories. perhaps a drug referrence?
"But if you make it different then we'll make our way to the surface,
and you favorite place." asking the past love to change this pain, to be with them and they can make it better.
"Where we sit, and we breath.
Because I know all the word and I sing you everything." a future memory the singer is having, what they want/think they could do with the past lover
"Well they're just thoughts so go ahead and speak.
Pick out what you like and call me when you're on the way.
You can spend the night and hope to sleep all day.
For me its just another week,
twenty eight was once how I dreamed.
And with your sent on my face I can leave and have you for days". ...not sure, maybe juist memories of the singer, maybe envisioned future moments they woish they could have, or past hopes
"I still can't see you.
The summer came and we got lost, all of us".- the love that happend in the summer was quick and crazy, and they got so wrapped up in it that they lost themselves, the beginning of why they are so in the blood (see above)
"You are nothing with out her".- one of my favorite lines of the song. the singer misses the past love so much,and she is such a part of him that without her he is lost... nothing
"I still wont remember your face,
the features mix too well with this alcohol." either drinking to deal with it, or part of the summer craziness
the rest is really pretty and I think that it is a memory or another future memory
overall an amazingly beautiful track. i think alot of it is personal so it'a hard to know what they are talkign about, but also its generalized so you can.
damn i love this band
