*so i'm gonna assume this is Brendon's lyrics because he is the single one of the remaining group ..i.e. Spencer lol. And this song does touch on a new perspective, they're goal as a reinvented group to have a new sound because of the way they look at life, and this goes into Brendon's personal life, his personal goal of how he looks at love or how it is shown. BTW his "new perspective" is more optimistic, like how this song sounds without the lyrics, listen to the instrumentals..there are tiny little instruments that really dig up that happy side of you. And i love that the title is straight forward because the meaning is straight forward.
I feel the salty waves come in
I feel them crash against my skin
And I smile as I respire because
I know they'll never win
-he uses very negative* words like "salty" "crash against", i'm guessing the waves are waves of negativity, since they did break up, there is that applied thought that they could possibly not get through this. But he knows ("smiles") that they can get through it ("they'll never win").
There's a haze above my TV
That changes everything I see
And maybe if I continue watching
I'll lose the traits that worry me
-the "haze above my TV" is a metaphore..it's what clicked in his mind to change his perspective on life. And if he keeps looking at life this way he loses his insecurities in the way he makes music and his personal life.
Can we fast-forward to go down on me?
-possibly his immature goals when he was younger..i'm not being sarcastic...this is just an example of how he looked at acions of affection in the past..lust and love.
Stop there and let me correct it
-See how he said in the first line of the chorus "fast-forward", and now he says "STOP" and he wants to correct it...change the way he sees this certain part in his mind.
I wanna live a life from a new perspective
-The best part of the song.
You come along because I love your face
And I'll admire your expensive taste
-this certain girl that he lustED for. And its all right there he liked her for her looks and basically his thoughts are "i guess i'll like your shallow side too ("expensive taste")".
And who cares divine intervention
-"Divine Intervention" is another phrase meaning miracle from God. And basically he's not changed religiously, like what most likely happens to artist after a huge change in their life, but Brendon just tweaked his point of view on things not exactly religiously.
I wanna be praised from a new perspective
-He wants to be loved or known for this new point of view in life.."praise" would be towards the fans..they want the fans to listen to their songs and realize that its different because of this new perspective.
But leaving now would be a good idea
So catch me up on getting out of here
-leaving this (bed)room or this state of mind would be a good idea.
Taking everything for granted but we still respect the time
We move along with some new passion knowing everything is fine
-The first line is a bit more complicated because i understand this verse talking mostly about the split. Maybe the "taking everything for granted" part is knowing how talented Ryan and Jon are but they know the way they see things are totally different..so they will respect the time they spent together as a group.
And I would wait and watch the hours fall in a hundred separate lines
But I regain repose and wonder how I ended up inside
-"hundred separate lines" mean his lyrics, the songs he writes that take real concentration and accuracy to write well ("hours fall"), and it probably was difficult for him to write. But he regains repose and thinks about how he has all this, the fame, the 2.2 million albums sold..because the fans loved their songs.

More to the point, I need to show
How much I can come and go
-So back to the point, they need to show how well he can comeback with new things...and that they can change their look and sound of music as many times but they still come back with great things.
Other plans fell through
And put a heavy load on you
-Because of the split alot of things changed or didn't happen..and this put a heavy load on Brendon and Spencer because they still are carrying the band's name.
I know there's no more that need be said
-He knows that there are no more things that need to be said between him, Spencer, Jon, and Ryan because it is what it was,change, but they will stay friends..
When I'm inching through your bed
Take a look around instead and watch me go
-there is that feeling ("inching") that he can turn back ("take a look around") but instead he went ahead.

It's not fair, just let me perfect it
-it's not fair he wanted to change the past with what he knows now. He grew up alot...its like that question "if you knew what you know now would things be different?"........its all part of growing up, you can't really change the past or else there is no growing up stage.
Don't wanna live a life that was comprehensive
'Cause seeing clear would be a bad idea
-comprehensive means to cover many things, or to include everything, having a wide scope or a full view. i guess this means that he doesn't want to understand/experience everything all at once because he wants to grow up in baby steps. Because the things he experiences or learns help him to create music.
Now catch me up on getting out of here
So catch me up I'm getting out of here
the whole band wrote this song a little more than a year ago, so I don't think its about the split.

that's what I tought it was about when I first heard it, but I watched an interveiw and it said that they all wrote it, but the lyrics were selected for a new movie, so brendon and spencer recorded it.

@Montys1heart thank you for being the one person who gets this song. Brendon always speaks in double talk and its amazing how a simple song holds multiple meaning and explaination but people gravitate toward the sex. Guys n gals, yes it was written before the split but this split was a long time coming...much like an orgasm. Song fills in blanks. Again, thank you @Montys1heart
