They Never Got You Lyrics

Cover art for They Never Got You lyrics by Spoon

I do really agree with the others, but I also kind of think it's about avoiding relationships, like you never got who you wanted, so they never got you. Like... "Did you think everyone knew/Something unclear" is like everyone else seems to be in this wonderful relationship you don't understand... and then "Don't let it break/Don't let it start/Don't let 'em in/Don't go too far" is like this person telling themselves not to ever get too involved in a relationship so as not to get themselves hurt. "Cover your tracks/Cover the path to the heart/Don't let those footholds start/And don't let no one in" also makes me think it's just a person trying to avoid heartbreak and relationships~
