i think this song is great. it's got a catchy melody, a poppy sound, sure, but that doesn't make it bad, just different. you can't expect a band to play the same style over and over and over and over again, because they'll get sick of it and you will too, and then you'll be condemning jew for being too repetitive instead of "poppy." so to the above dinks who claim this song is "crap" or "gay" or "pish" or "sucks butt," then you've gotta shut the fuck up and think before you speak. until you've been in a band that's made as much music as they have, and until you've been in a band that's lasted as long as they have, then you've got no room to talk. especially given that i see one guy--baitingballs or whatever your name is--constantly throwing shit without anything specific to say. the only complaint i keep hearing is that it's poppy, so, if you don't like it then you probably don't like pop music. news flash! there are a lot of people who do like pop music! if it isn't for you, then don't listen to it! you can't bash an entire genre as stupid or lame simply because it doesn't appeal to you. i can't stand heavy metal, nor can i understand its appeal, but i'm not gonna bash a heavy metal band for being terrible musicians. indeed, a lot of them are probably a lot better than i am. jew, frankly, has popularized its style a lot since clarity. the direction it's headed is a mix of pop and rock. yes, POP and rock. if you dont like it, then listen to someone else, or their old stuff.
this song is about an ex girlfriend, and how the guy is saying, "you shouldn't have broken up with me, let's try again." specifically, i think it's all a big reference to fooling around with an ex girlfriend, saying, "we used to do this all the time, you know it jen." other things in the song--calling her "jennifer," "you tried just a little hard acting like something that you're not," etc--suggest that neither of them have moved on, and that they don't really feel like they've broken up entirely. obviously, "you have to let things go to keep them close" is another reference to breaking up, and how they should get back together.
