"Will someone please call a surgeon
Who can crack my ribs
And repair this broken heart
That you're deserting for better company?
I can't accept that it's over
I will block the door
Like a goalie tending the net
In the third quarter of a tied-game of rivalry
So just say how to make it right
And I swear I'll do my best to comply"
He feels heart broke now that shes left him for someone else. He finds value in the relationship that he refuses to give up on. He thinks theres still a chance because its a "tied-game." He's willing to do anything to get her back.
"Tell me am I right to think
That there could be nothing better
Than making you my bride
And slowly growing old together?"
I think to safe to say he thinks he loves her and that they are meant to be together... soulmate.
(my favorite part)
"I feel I must interject here
You're getting carried away
Feeling sorry for youself
With these revisions and gaps in history
So let me help you remember
I've made charts and graphs
That should finally make it clear
I've prepared a lecture on why I have to leave
So please back away and let me go"
(Like every story, there are two sides to the story and normally one side is always very skewed) She interrupts to remind him how much he has decontexutalized the situation. He's only fixated on the happy parts but she reminds him, with evidence "charts and graph"(very logical and scientific), to clear up the situation.
This is why I love the song. We always get one side of the story and normally its from the sappy-heart broken fool that had no idea how unidealistic the relationship really was. He tries to justify the relationship with his feelings and love whereas she refers to exact examples and quantitative situations to remind him how the relationship was never ideal.
"I can't, my darling, I love you so"
(Some we operate in a society where love trumps all experiences and events)
"Don't you feed me lines
About some idealistic future
Your heart won't heal right
If you keep tearing out the sutures"
Essentially, shes gotten over these false dreams hes feed her for a long time now. Shes done with the whole relationship (not necessarily him) and honestly tells him he needs to move on because he wont be able to do so running after her. Its a wound that hurts him but it needs to heal and his constant backtracking will only hurt him.
"I admit that I have made mistakes
And I swear I'll never wrong you again
You've got a lure I can't deny
But you've had your chance so say goodbye
Say goodbye"
He makes promises alluring to the fact that hes hurt her or possibly given her a reason to no longer trust him. She admits they have a connection, something that attracts her to him but shes moving on. Hurt her once, his fault. Hurt her twice, its her fault.
Love the song. Love the lyrics.
