*Fell In Love Without You..he fell in love with a close friend, but was sure she didn't feel the same.
*This Is For Real..he knew he needed her. Not necessarily in a love manner - but needed her help to stay on track, wanted her to stay in his life because she somehow made everything easier.
*It Had To Be You..he came around to telling her how he felt, she felt the same and he felt stupid for not telling her sooner. They got together.
*Last Night..time passed, things went wrong, the relationship got rocky but still exists.
*Calling All Cops..he did something stupid that night, and he's worried he's going to lose her.
*Can't Finish What You Started..they talked, he realized some things, and had a talk with himself. Kind of a realization that he messed up, but isn't sure he wants to try to get better.
*The Conversation..still not doing good, he's thinking about the night they met & decides he needs to talk to her. It's the conversation that happened that night. She ends it, because she feels she's lost herself in his mess.
*Broken Heart..he's hurt, but wants to put the pieces of his life back together and move on. He still has so much to say to her, but doesn't know how to say it, and decides he's better off not saying anything. He fakes his happiness and pretends to move on, but the pressures build up and he basically says screw it, I'm not gonna try anymore.
*Hello Helicopter..I'm not sure about this one. I think it's a helping hand, or what he sees as one. Maybe drugs or alcohol.
*Where I Belong..He's really confused about where he's going and what he's doing, who he is. Every day is a bad one, he thinks he deserves this and it's "where he belongs".
*Point Of Extinction..He's lost, wandering, and hoping that she'll still be around when he gets the pieces of his life back together. He's kind of sick of moping and wants to try to get it together.
*Antonia..Not sure about this one. Not sure about any of them really, but, this is just MY interpritation on the album..
And of course, Even If It Kills Me..
He's decided that he really is fed up with being depressed about losing her, and that moping isn't going to get him anywhere. He's got a lot on his mind, and a lot he needs to get set straight, but "for the first time in a long time [he] can say that [he] wants to try to get better and overcome each moment in [his] own way". He really, really, really wants to get himself straight on his own. He wants to stop thinking about what happened and be okay.
I think this song is pretty much explains itself, and in my opinion it's one of the best Motion City songs...ever. The words say a lot, and it's definitely one I can relate to in some way, and I'm sure a lot of other people can, too.
Sorry, I kind of went a little overboard and ended up explaining my take on the entire album instead of just the song.
The whole album is a story to me.
