This tune is just .. awesome. Honestly, I'm very surprised that it only has three comments so far. I feel this positive, happy hope when I listen to it, from the chords and pace, down to the meaning behind it.
First off - the first line is "I was weaving with the drunks." I see this incorrectly worded as "leaving" all over the Net. Arg! Catch one (or more!) of his live performances on youTube and watch him sing it.
The first couple of stanzas reveal that he was detached from loving anyone, it seems by choice.
"I let go of love, once it finally had me figured out"
and perhaps learned to embrace being detached in the way of relationships.
"So I got good at pleasure, and started tying tighter knots"
At some point, things turn around and he has someone that he believes will change that for him, or at least has it in him to take the chance with someone to "rewrite all the wrongs they've learned." Because it's not going to ever be enough to be alone.
My favorite line is the way he sings, what I think is a reference to the Sinatra song "Come dance with me" (check the lyrics)
"Come on, come on, come on in here dance with me love. OH come on, just come on and dance with me love"
What girl would turn down a request made with such feeling? I absolutely LOVe the heart he puts into that phrase - it totally makes the song.
