Somebody suggested to me that this was about Warren leaving the band...the song becomes so much better when you think of it like that.

"We used to like all the same bands" - Warren and Tom used to have the same musical taste, Tom's is changing.

"What do we have left in common, just shared memories of good times long since passed" - They had a lot of good times in the band's early days, but it just isn't the same anymore

"You can't get what you want from me" - A hardcore punk group

"And I can't get what I need from you" cooperation with the direction the band is heading in.

"I'm not giving up on us" - Warren is leaving the band, but Tom is still going ahead with his music.
