My take on this song is that this guy and girl were in a relationship, but he was purely just using her. He ended up hurting her really bad, and she now wants to get back at him by giving him a taste of his own medicine. She wants to see him go through everything he put her through. I think most of the song is from the girl's point of view.
"I thought of angels
Choking on their halos
Get them drunk on rose water
See how dirty I can get them
Pulling out their fragile teeth
And clip their tiny wings"
-----this is how the guy has approached all his relationships (the angels are the women he's been with)
"I want to teach you a lesson in the worst kind of way
------she wants to break his heart by making him fall for her, then doing to him what he did to her...teaching him a lesson by putting him through it himself
Still I’d trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday
------she is still hurting and wishes things could've worked between them
(I know I’m bad news)
For just one yesterday"
------she knows what she's doing isn't good
"Letting people down is my thing baby
Find yourself a new gig
This town ain’t big enough for two of us"
------the guy speaking, saying he knows what she's trying to do and that they can't both play this game
" I don’t have the right name
Or the right looks
But I have twice the heart"
-------I believe this is from the girl's point of view, she is saying she knows she doesn't fit the part and isn't like the other girls that would try to break a guys heart, but she has so much reason behind her intentions that she's going to succeed one way or another
"If I spilled my guts
The world would never look at you the same way
And I’m here to give you all of my love
So I can watch your face as I take it all away"
-------she knows he's treated her like crap and she isn't going to let him get off the hook this time....
so much meaning to this song, it's my favorite right now
Thank you for that insite, I've been depressed lately and in turn havent really been able to think past the "trade all my tomarrows for just one yesterday" part. I was just thinking "yesterday" was happy and my "tomarrows" all look pretty dark. Anyways thanks for helping me see the rest of the song. I think youre absolutely right, and I'm thrilled that the boys are catching the girl side in this song.
