Hey there, it's good to see you again
It never felt right, calling this just friends
I'm happy if you're happy with yourself
earlier on, they were on again/off again and it was an open relationship
Take off your shirt, your shoes
Those skinny jeans I bought for you
We're diving in
There's nothing left to lose
this part seems like he's talking about when they decided to be together for real instead of open and they're diving into a relationship
the taking off clothes part seems to add to the "diving" metaphor, like they're representing her inhibitions
I'm gonna break down these walls
(Down these walls)
I built around myself
I wanna fall so in love
(So in love)
With you and no one else
Could ever mean half as much
To me as you do now
he wants to break down the walls he'd built up around his heart and finally let her in, so she's the only one, instead of the girls he'd been with before
Together we'll move on
Just don't turn around
Let the walls break down
he wants to move on from the open relationship, and he doesn't want to go back to what it was like before
I used to wear you like a ball and chain
I'd run and hide at the call of my name
It was obvious
You were too much for me
Oblivious
I was young and horny
before, he felt like he was weighted down by her. he was "young and horny" and just wanted sex and not love
In retrospect, I wouldn't do it again
Stop talking shit to every one of your friends
I'm not the same boy you knew back then
looking back, he wouldn't have been in the open relationship or been a manwhore. she would tell all of her friends about that, but he's assuring her he's changed
I can't breathe
My body's shaking
You got a way
With the way you take me
'Cause you break me down
You know you break me down
this is the only part that i think is about sex (other than the young and horny bit), but it can also be taken as the way she makes him feel and how much he loves her; she breaks down his walls
quite obviously about alex's girlfriend, lisa
