Wow, this song definitely hits home. I've been in a long distance relationship for almost a year, and this song is so easy to understand for me.
The singer definitely knows the feelings, the hardship, and the over powering love when reunited.
I'll put in () next to each line what I interpret this song as.
Where to go I had no idea (Where do I go next? I have no idea what to do)
26.10 was the price to pay (this number, 26.10 could mean several things, that is open to interp.)
A messed up kid with no ideals at all (I am a messed up kid, and I have nothing left-no ideals, anything)
I thought those 26.10 I shouldn't give'em away (the 26.10 is something important, and to keep himself safe, his own heart-he shouldnt give the 26.10 away)
I remember this young guy died and I took his part (he replaced the girls boyfriend)
He got far too many stitches on his pretty face (the guy dumped was hurt badly by this break up)
Long time to see but I always thought us two would be serious (from the moment they were together, they knew that they'd be serious- even though it was going to be a long time before they would see each other again)
I was looking around town, thinking the same as you.(the guy and girl both knew that they wanted to be together, even though they knew it was about to be a hard and a big journey)
I'm far gone but your long distance call And your capital letters keep me asking for more (distance wise, and possibly emotionally connected wise, the two lovers were far gone from each other, however when the doubting would start, each others long distance phone calls, and love letters always reminded the two why they were so serious, and why it was worth all of this pain)
It's never been like that (this relationship is definitely meant to be, because the feelings that these
It's never been like that two have, is stronger,and more real than anything they have ever experienced)
I'm far gone but your long distance call And your capital letters keep me asking for more
Where to go I had no idea about it (when it gets hard, the singer has no idea where to go and how to fix it)
Most of the people do, they're only doing just fine (most people who are in relationships that are not long distance, get used to having each other, and forget sometimes how special the other person is, so the absolute love gets lost because they haven't endured hardships, like the long distance couple have faced, and grown together with. So even though the couples that are together, know how to comfort each other better, than the long distance couple can, the relationships are only fine...not great)
I don't wanna stay in place no more, see Ain't doing well well well, I am only doing just fine ( the singer either doesn't want to stay in the town thats far away, or he just doesn't want to stay in this extremely hard place in his relationship- he's tired if being with the other people who are just doing just fine- when he knows that once he is with his love, he will be doing great)
long time no see, long time no say (it's been a long time since the two have seen each other and have really talked)
Got little to tell, I don't say much but I might (the two, when together, do not have to necessarily speak, the power of silence and touch brings them close too...but when the distance comes, the silence and touch is lacking, so the two may only do small talk, because there just really isn't much to say, even though they want to talk to each other. This isn't really a bad thing, it just causes some problems when they are apart.)
Something always told me us two would be serious (the two are becoming way serious)
I am looking around town, thinking the same as you (they both know that this is hard, but it has to work)
(the rest is a repeat from the top)
I'm far gone but your long distance call And your capital letters keep me asking for more
It's never been like that
It's never been like that
I'm far gone but your long distance call And your capital letters keep me asking for more
Long time no see... Long time no say...
(My long distance relationship was just like this, still is like this. My love and I are now engaged though, but this relationship has been through a lot- but now we are stronger than anything else.)
