After reading everyones comments on the lyrics, I do agree with a lot of them. But on the other hand a song can mean something different to everyone. Thats the beauty of music, although lyrics do tell a story the way one depicts it is all up to them. The first time I heard this song the lyrics in the song that stood out to me were: "I will forgive and forget before im paralyzed. Do I have to keep up the pace to keep you satisfied." "things have gotten closer to the sun, and i've done things in small doses so dont think im pushing you away when you're the one that i've held closest" Maybe it was because i could relate to that part of the song the most but it automatically made me love it and think about a girl, forgiving and forgetting cause the relationship isnt completely 'exclusive' and the two may be in a very casual back and forth, mostly sexual relationship. And does she have to keep up this strong nonchalant wall to keep him satisfied. Basically a relationship mostely based on physical attraction/satisfaction that started off very slow at first. But through time feelings have progressed and it went from stricly sexual, to somewhat emotional. And although neither of them want to give in to those feelings cause they've been hurt before and now see feelings as a waste of time and dangerous they both see that it is unlike them to keep a partner around for so long so they know feelings exist for one another. but they never talk about it and put pressure on the feelings so they hopefully dissapear and 'crystalize' them. But even knowing that nothings lasts forever, they keep doing what they're doing and the feelings dont dissapear. Ending with the lyrics "Glaciers have melted to the sea (Things have gotten closer to the sun) I wish the tide would take me over (And I've done things in small doses) I've been down onto my knees (So don't think that I'm pushing you away) And you just keep on getting closer (When you're the one that I've kept closest)" then reminding each other to keep going slow cause that's what has worked for so long. I know im a little all over the place... but hopefully you get what im saying. |

| To me, i think everything they're stating in the song, they're doing/thinking the complete opposite. | |
