Cover art for Alex in Wonderland lyrics by This Time Next Year

This is the first song by them I've gotten into. The chorus has an awesome melody to it. I'm looking forward to exploring these guys a bit more.

Song Meaning- I'm thinking this is about a guy who has just recently gotten over/come to his sense about his ex. ((I'm working up the guts/to say you weren't enough)) She's a crazy, manipulative woman (your ruse and cigarettes, your lack of sensibility) (I know it's not in my head) who is immature and is headed toward a bleak future. It's basically a situation where she broke his heart, but he realizes that she's screwed without him and that he's better off on his own. (your love's pariah) -Sean

Yea I agree. That's what I thought it was about
