Cover art for One Way Trigger lyrics by Strokes, The

to me it's about this guy who met this girl inn summer (as he says "it's summer lies", like those happy relationships that last no longer than four months and between this time they believe and say it's going to last forever) in a holliday or something. Then, the hollyday ends, he has to go, he always knew it was going to happen. But the girl doesn't want it to happen, she wants him to stay. He doesn't want ("I don't wanna be in there with you": he doesn't want to take her with him, "I don't wanna be in there without your loving either", he doesn't want to lose that love, but he will) and doesn't know how to break up (" show me what to say"), but there is no other option no better plan, no better perspective ("show me a better plan", "show me what to see", "show me what to be"), he has to build his life ("find a job, find a friend, find a home, find a dog, settle down out of town, find a dream, shut it down").
