Cover art for Blue Heaven lyrics by Taking Back Sunday

this is what i hear when i listen to this song:

there are two people who kind of have a past together, but its been on and off [two sides twist and then collide]. one of them breaks down and tells the other everything [you’re calling off the guards, im coming through]. this person has been through a lot of shit and its made his or her life crazy and almost unbearable [adulterous condition to a spin cycled submission]. By confiding in their friend, they stir up all these feelings that have been put aside, and the friend tries not to fall for this person again but decides sometimes it just feels better to give in.

the friend has always loved him or her though, and its never worked quite like they wanted. [and its all too familiar, and it happens all the time]. Every time, the friend ends up heartbroken [all the cards begin to stack up, twisting heartache into fine little pieces]. (Not sure about the awful crime. Probably refers to suicide but that doesn’t quite fit here.) But they’ll always love this person and this person will always be in the back of their mind [but its you I cant deny].

The friend tries to be patient but finds him/herself wanting this person more and more [both a patient boy, well and a jealous man]. They keep wondering if the other person will realize how great it would be if they were together for real [am I coming….through?].

The friend tries to convince him/herself that it will be ok. They hope and pray that it will work the way they want it to, but know that no matter what happens, they will always be close and it will be ok. They’re safe.
