Cover art for Police Station lyrics by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Now what I understood from the lyrics:

VERSE 1: the guy who loves her spots her at the police station and is touched by what has become of the girl he loves and how she(looking for fame/golden years) has gotten used to this 'garbage life'

VERSE 2: Again he spots her on the newspaper and notices how she's changed from the who she used to be, a person with confidence (convictions). and remembers how they were together back then and decides to go after her to save her.

Chorus: He's where she (or they) used to sleep reminiscing and decided to go after her (to save her)

VERSE 3: He sees her on the TV and again touched by how the lovely girl is dusting and decaying (lidsay lohan hahaha) and is going after her to save her

VERSE 4: He's leaving off to her and will do anything to save her

CHORUS: Same as previous chorus only this time he adds in that she's his soulmate and left everything behind to go after this girl.

Verse 5: He finds the girl in the churchyard but can't talk to her as married with someone else to his surprise. Heartbroken as he never imagined this and now he feels like like he is where she was/is (decay/needs to be saved). and he refuses to give up.

Did he write this to lidsay lohan? haha anyway it's a great song and would make a great book or movie.
