Was it on Huron when the wind first changed direction?
Was it on Franklin when I lost you on the streets?
All I remember is gray between the cables
Where muted pavement could not give me two feet
I'll give you everything that you need
If you want my blood, let me bleed
If you want a ghost, then that's what I'll be
You already know
What you don't even know
Read the cover the flap
You just put it back
That's the price we pay
For going in all the way
That's the price we pay
For going in all the way
If you remain in me
I will remain in you
And if you stay with me
I will stay with you
Great song.
Seems to be to be about how two people first meet and start liking each other. After a while they learn some of the darker parts of each other. In this case, it seems that the guy is wounded somehow. Maybe he realizes he has imperfections and flaws or a checkered past (Why are they always checkered? Why not plaid or striped?). Or maybe the girl just doesn't know what she wants. Typical woman. So something happens, the winds change. He loses her. Doesn't matter where or how, maybe on some street in the middle of suburbia hell. And so, after taking one look at the cover and the flap of his 'book', she begins to drift away. All the while, all the guy needs and wants is to belong to someone. And unfortunately or fortunately, only the memories and the thoughts of what could be remain. Not the way I want to be forgotten. (Cristy, if you are reading this, this is about us.) The third line of the song reminds me of the scene in 'Say Anything' where he is talking into his little recorder and driving in the Seattle rain. 'This rain is like a baptism.'- Lloyd Dobbler.
Lyric correction: Fourth line. Omit 'in all'
