Lyric discussion by penny_fresca 

clockwork, are you serious? mark, at the first verse, is saying how he avoids his life[hinted to in 'goodbye, love', by roger]. then the 'when youre living in america...' part, that's saying nowadays[or then], our lives are all about posessions and avoiding what matters. then the rest is mark and roger trading on and off about how and what they fear in life and why they do it, even though they know it's irrational. then the end with them finally realizing, or, deciding, really, what's truely important, mark quits to finish his own work, for angel. and roger comes back to new yourk, for mimi.
