Ok guys. I'm a christian here and all that and yes most of their songs have christian elements but "You said, you said that you would die for me" doesn't have to do with Jesus. Jesus didn't say he would die for us, he just did it. You're looking at it in the wrong tense.
I interpret this to be about a failing marriage. Some people here have mentioned marriage but most say that it they were going to get married. The thing is they already are.
Softly we tremble tonight,
(uh.. whatever)
picture perfect fading smiles are all that's left in sight,
(smiles are fading because the honey moon is over so to speak)
I said I'd never leave. You'll never change
(marriage is a lifelong commitment but there are just some things about his spouse that he doesnt like that will never change and its hard to live with her)
I'm not satisfied with where I'm at in life.
(self explanatory, see above line, marriage failing)
that was the first paragragh, the rest is self explanatory except a few parts:
With all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.
(all he ever wanted was to be with this girl forever but the price he pays for having her forever is not loving her as much)
we made plans to grow old,
believe me there was truth in all those stories that I told.
(plans to grow old- be together forever, the stories he told were about how they would live their lives out together and how much he loved her and he is saying that he meant all that at the time. but now it has changed)
You must live for me, too...
(the spouse is incooperative or stubborn to change and is living only for themselves, perhaps not willing to meet half way)
OKAY well that was my interpretation. I am a new user. I am very open to feedback and would love a reply and/or personal message of if you think i am wrong or right or half right etc. Also there was one part that I myself didnt understand. Do any of you know what he means by the "cat and mouse" line? I prefer a personal message because I believe it will send me an email telling me i have a message.
To me the phrase Cat and Mouse seems to be an analogy used so to speak she is the cat chasing the mouse(him) out of the relationship. That is what is seems to be to me I could be wrong or right.
