Hey guys, I'm pretty sure none of you got the lyrics quite right yet. Listen to the acoustic version to hear the words clearly... Here's what I hear:
Forgive you, if that's what you want. You roll back and your wasted, and I'm all torn up.
I buried promise here. You would come back once your feeling sorry for all that you were when you found me here in the clear. No one here can sing your song. Just stand by the idiots and sing along.
I've let you love before, when you were a flower on the wall I built to block out the drapes I used to need. But no one here can sing my (your) song. Just stand by the idiots and sing along.
The song's meaning seems pretty obvious to me. He's talking to a friend, possibly himself, that has withdrawn from those around them. The cause of their suffering isn't made clear which makes the meaning pretty flexible. It means different things to me at different times, but in the end Joey tells us to buck-up. You've loved before, you can do it again. Just pretend to enjoy the people you've been hiding from and eventually you'll realize life is not so bleak.

Word. That acoustic version is so, so good.

@BrooksBonkoski It's actually "You would come back once your feeling are reaped for all that you were, when you found me here in the clear
