i tried to talk to you can't get past the weather
the friend i thought i knew found something somewhere better
so i'm hanging on your line, thought we could speak together
don't know what it is with you, you seem gone forever

i'm spending all my time driving round faking clever
with a girl who seems alright and another one who's better
i don't know if i lied when i said we're not together
but i tried to talk to you and somehow you seem gone

i know what could've been, try not to think about it
found it hard to live with this and longed to live without it
my dreams have caught me out i find myself surrounded
by the odds of our own end enough said about it

i'm spending all my time driving round faking clever
with a girl who seems alright and another one who's better
i don't know if i lied when i said we're not together
but i tried to talk to you and somehow you seem gone

i've given up somethings i guess that doesn't matter
started other things i guess that doesn't matter
i finally wrote your song another unsent letter
in a pile addressed to you care of someone somewhere better

i'm spending all my time driving round faking clever
with a girl who seems alright and another one who's better
i don't know if i lied when i said we're not together
but i tried to talk to you and somehow you seem gone

i'm spending all my time driving round faking clever
with a girl who seems alright and another one who's better
i don't know if i lied when i said that i'm together
but i tried to talk to you and somehow you seem gone forever
yeah i tried to talk to you and somehow you seem gone forever
yeah i tried to talk to you and somehow you seem gone

    General Comment:This song is definitely about a break up and finding it hard to let go and to move on, however, I don't think we can ever truly understand what the song is about because we don't know the reasons behind why they broke up and why the relationship didn't work. Because of this lots of people can relate to it........you just have to put your own pieces into the puzzle.

    General Comment:definetly a song about emptyness...

    possibly about a relationship just after breaking up with someone and trying to still remain friends, but there being a lack off comunication (unsent letter is the title after all)...
    and feeling like the other person has better things to do

    the music and the lyrics really match well too....

    General Comment:I was under the impression that the lines:

    with a girl who seems alright and another one who's better
    i don't know if i lied when i said we're not together
    but i tried to talk to you and somehow you seem gone

    Refer to the same girl - she seems like two people, perhaps in her actions or merely in his hopeful mind. One still wants to be with him, the other doesn't, two fighting personalities. He's unsure of what the situation actually is. And any time he tries to talk to her about it she doesn't respond the way he's hoping.

    General Comment:Well to me I think this song is about how you break up with someone but u still remain friends... "i try to talk to you cant get past the weather" well thats how your chatting, and find nothing else to talk about but the weather so the conversation is quite strained. So, this girl that he still likes (i dont know if i lied when i said we're not together) like, he broke up with her but he's not sure if thats what he really wants.. like, he's found someone else and has started other things with other people, but he still wants this one girl... hence all the unsent letters... I think he regrets his decision to end the relationship cos she's moved on without him....

    General Comment:in response to lonerwithflour's comment, u makeit sound as though they r great lyrics. and i agree- for this song anyway. for wxample, they have another song called 'Let me be your dirty f**king whore" which goes as follows:
    "My darling the stars, they shine for you
    My darling the birds twitter for you
    My darling my heart skips a beat
    Whenever I think of you
    And under this moonlit sky
    I pray and dream that I
    Will be the one, will be the one that you

    Bend over and bang good and hard from behind
    Have me on all fours, howling at the sky
    I'll give your cock a good long suck
    Then you'll give me a good hard f*ck
    Squeeze my tits, all big and bouncy
    Then spunk all over my botty
    I want to be your butt-hot greasy slut
    Greasy slut
    Begging for more for I can't get enough
    Can't get enough

    When I leave your tool used-up, worn and soggy
    I won't stop then, oh no no no
    I'll become your little leg-humping doggy
    Let me be your dirty f*cking whore"

    i couldnt resist putting that in. haha
