These were the lyrics I got from their website, and this is my interpertation of this beautiful song <3
And this is my last remaining filter on my last remaining words
It's leaving the taste of something bitter on my tongue
I'm leaving a letter full of reasons along with a line that starts to blur
Into a page that says you faded way too young
Cause you're leaving something short of innocent
I'm still thinking of the times we should of spent
It's as if this form of treason crawled up deep inside your head
And left you notes on how to keep your insides dead
He's saying that this is the last time he's going to watch his words, because covering up what he's trying to say isn't helping at all, So he's writing her about what happened, and only meant it to be a couple of lines, but instead (as we all know) it turned into a big rant that turned into a page saying basically one thing, "That she faded way to young" Meaning, she's changed but changed too soon. And now she's leaving him as a different girl "Short of innocent." And he's thinking of the times that they were alone, that they should have been spending together. And the voice of "treason", is saying that she has to keep the old her, (person that she used to be) dead.
If I had any other heart if any other piece spoke louder
If I had any other hands I wouldn't need the voice to tell
The world about the coward that refuses to stand and claim the blood on your hands
If I had any other heart beside my own we might have left you cold
Hands are probably used as a symbol in this song, as to what he could do with them. Like, how much he could hold, or handle. So he's saying if he had anyother hands, he might be able to handle it better than using his (amazing) voice to tell the world about the situation. He's clearly not happy with her, and he's saying if any other peice of him (that says to leave her) spoke louder than his heart, he could have just left her easily. "The coward" Is the girl and she's making excuses, and trying to lighten the situation and blame his pain on everyone else.
I'm handed a book about instructions on when I should know to go
And tracing my fingers down the binding I get cold
Cause I've been this awful shade of lonely since your reasons left the room
And I'd see everything get warmer if you decide to follow suit
If I could paint the town with all your good intent
I'd leave these walls as red as my eyes could have been
While picking comfort for my Father for a place to rest his head
Well Tallahassee will stay gray outside instead
He's saying that a lot of people are telling him when to go, and he's thinking about listening but he can't let go of her. Once her excuses started to become meaningless, he's been very sad. To
"follow suit" is an idiom for doing the same thing as what someone's done to you, and he's saying if she would just treat him the way he's treated her, he'd feel a lot better about staying with her. He's saying that she didn't have any good intentions for them, and that he would have to leave the walls as red as his eyes could have been. Meaning, he wouldn't have much color to use because she only ever made him mad, and cry. And he could be just as angry and sad like when he was making decisions about where his dad would lay. But he'd rather see the town gray, than angry.
If I were king of the world and I could build you a day
I'd smile just to rip it all away
I would to blaze a memory in your head that screams about regret
Simply put, if he were on top of everything, and could make her feel good, he'd take everything away from her in a heart beat, and then that would be the feeling of regretting what she's done to him.
“This record spans the last four years of my life. It’s really about growing up,” says LANCASTER. “I'm 27 years old now, and I've written so many songs about girls, so we collected ourselves to talk about bigger things in life that are important to everyone. There are songs on LUCKY STREET about religion, lack of religion, lack of faith, birth and death. It's really a wide spectrum of topics.”

It may not be about a girl, but it's about his past. And he's talking about the people...
It may not be about a girl, but it's about his past. And he's talking about the people that were apart of it, It's a wide spectrum of topics. Also, I put at the top, my interepertation. I may have kept saying "her," but by saying "her" and "girl" It could be about anyone/anything. I was giving "anyone" a shorter name, and a pronoun.

Beautiful, but very complicated song.
