i agree with minttown1 and winglessdreamer, i think this song is about a commitment phobic person…
Made a meal and threw it up in sunday
Got a lot of things to learn
Said I would and I believe in one day
Before my heart starts to burn
He suddenly remembers that has more important things to do, he said to himself even before that he is gonna change and he thinks that if he is already believing his heart starts to burn. Another way of saying that he thinks it’s not gonna happen.
So what's the matter with you?
Sing me something new... don't you know
The cold and wind and rain don't know
They only seem to come and go away
In this part he is telling the person to give him something fresh so that he can be interested in her again. Because this kind of person is the kind that easily gets tired/bored. But usually he regrets that because he liked that person and yet he is slowly becoming not interested anymore or enthusiastic as before.
And this…
don't you know
The cold and wind and rain don't know
They only seem to come and go away
...is a metaphor for what he’s feeling. “It’s like cold and wind and rain, they just come and go…” to sum it up, he is asking that person to give him something new so that he can be fascinated of her again because his feeling in love is like a switch, it’s on and off.
Times are hard when things have got no meaning
I've found a key upon the floor
Maybe you and I will not believe in the things we find
Behind the door
Like lydtorres said---He knows, that people needs something to hold on to, something to believe in. And he has found a way to do it, maybe by a girlfriend, mother, or somebody, but he is still skeptical about it
If you're leaving will you take me with you?
I'm tired of talking on my phone
But there is one thing I can never give you
My heart will never be your home
He likes her, he didn't want to lose her but he couldn't give his all. He doesn't want to be controlled because once you are in a relationship; you'll feel trapped- at least on the perspective of a commitment phobic. notice the "if you're leaving WILL YOU TAKE ME with you?" "BUT there is one thing I can never give you" "MY HEART will never be your home"----kinda selfish.
Stand By Me -- Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand By Me -- Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
Stand By Me -- Nobody knows the way it's gonna be
But you know this guy didn't want his being commitment phobic, in fact he didn't understand it. He is still hoping he'll change. and that is why -- "Stand by me" it's like saying, JUST BE PATIENT. "Nobody knows the way it's gonna be" cause maybe one day he'll not be that kind of person anymore.
And he is telling STAND BY ME, NOBODY KNOWS THE WAY IT’S GONNA BE — three times! It’s like telling, PLEASE be patient, PLEASE understand, PLEASE give me a little more time!
