A lot of Strokes song are about relationships/one night stands/ or just situations with women in general. I think this is no different. It's almost like this is going on in the guy's head, it reminds me of Radiohead a little bit:
Tell me what happened
If you like
Get off on the same floor
Get off on the same floor
Get off on the same floor
Every night
-I think he messed it up with her somehow and is trying to figure out why.. he wishes she would tell him the real reason, maybe it's on his mind especially when he comes home alone at the end of every day.
What are the reasons
What are the reasons
What are the reasons
To fall out
I wanna tell you
I wanna tell you
I wanna tell you
Nothing
-He trys to understand why they don't talk anymore, he thinks it's B.S. mostly because she wasn't honest about it.
Girl, I am on
At anytime
Girl, I want at any town
Im done with the office
Hello, forest
I still want to ask you
Something more
-I think he could be proving himself here (to her), he can do or handle anything, ready to be free with her... he can't so he still wants to know why.
I dont want to fight
Dont wanna make
You and me
I dont wanna argue
I dont wanna argue
I dont wanna argue
If you want
I want a ...
If I could
-He did ask her to be honest OR he wants her to be but she's dodged the issue. Either way, by the end he doesn't want to force them together, but he's still got feelings and is a little confused/pissed off. Not sure if he says anything other than "I want a..." but whatever it is he can't have it.
I could be way wrong about this but it's just how I read it, this album comes at you at different angles (haha) but this song is my favorite.
