Maybe I'm crazy or it's the fact this is happening to me now, but I think it's about leaving school. At least, that's what this is to me:
"I fooled the crowd when i made it sound like I was more than ready." Going to college or the real world.
"I'm trying to find truth in words in rhymes and notes in all the things I wish I wrote." Yearbooks, etc., before you leave and head in separate directions.
"Don't write a word cause i wont reply and I'm not bitter, no,
it's just I've past that point in my life." Growing up.
each night it ends too soon.
you dont hold me like you used to
and your eyes look like theyve seen too much cause
its always some excuse--
too tired, too obtuse.
you look so far removed.
this time i fear im losing losing you.
m nicotine.
im a cash machine.
im the color green
and you should have seen
the looks i just received.
i need a reason to let go.
an intervention, a lullaby.
something to cure me,
please believe me.
I know it's more of a stretch to apply it to the second half of the song, but still.
