You can wash out your lying eyes in the bathroom down the hall. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. I guess I didn’t know you at all. I can picture you inside some stranger’s house, inside some stranger’s bed - you’re trying to seem mysterious, the covers pulled over your head. It’s all right, lady liberty, it’s just too bad you couldn’t do the same for me. You say you’ve been used, you’ve been betrayed. Yeah, and that old bed’s been newly made. You just stick around awhile with me until you’re strong enough to leave. And I can picture you the first time you decide to spend the night - you wonder if you should give me a call and ask me if it’s all right. Yeah, it’s all right, lady liberty, it’s just too bad you couldn’t do the same for me. Don’t call me or send me any more letters, baby. I just can’t stand to see your hand writing things that you don’t mean. I waited, our faded love growing even more faded. The shades were down, I faced the wall, and I could hear you breathing. I tried to bring us back to life. I gave my heart so many times. And was it worth it after all? There is a bathroom down the hall.

In the back of my head I have a REAL idea of what this song is about, but I want to paint a picture in your mind of what I'd like to THINK it's a about.
SO there's this girl who's had this really good guy friend all her life that has been by her side through good and bad, yadda yadda... So now that they're in college and he has had feelings for her for a while now, she goes off the deep end ensuing a lifestyle that's just not her, according to the critical, over-protective best friend. After all the bullshit she's put him through, he finally decides to put her in her place and tell her what he really thinks. Including snarky comments like, "it's just too bad you couldn't do the same for me," and obnoxious repetitions of, "THERE IS A BATHROOM DOWN THE HALL!"(to wash out her lying eyes, of course!) He feels she has betrayed him to be like all the other women he has encountered, and she's nothing more than common. (somewhere in there I like to think she spent the night with a frat boy and had to do the Walk of Shame the following morning, but that's only in my wildest imagination.)
love, love, love you will sheff even if I make this song out to be something really wrong.....
Notice how many times he mentions that "there's a bathroom down the hall"? I think he says this as kind of a polite way of saying "get the hell out" and then repeats it to make the message more clear.
Or it could just be about a girl. ;)
