through a telephoto
a ways away
the cars all look like beans spilled on the ground
and you shine on
stronger than ive ever seen you
whyd you have to come around?
why cant i walk away
why should i care
is it just a mtter of being me
or are we just the worlds most perfect pair
speaking now in pictures
of crazy days
we had ways of working around the words
you were good and bad
a very scary mixture
you still are
youd think i might have learned
why cant i walk away?
why should i care ?
is it just a matter of being me
or are we just the worlds most perfect pair
you give me the mask i need to wear
we must be the worlds most perfect pair
a ways away
the cars all look like beans spilled on the ground
and you shine on
stronger than ive ever seen you
whyd you have to come around?
why cant i walk away
why should i care
is it just a mtter of being me
or are we just the worlds most perfect pair
speaking now in pictures
of crazy days
we had ways of working around the words
you were good and bad
a very scary mixture
you still are
youd think i might have learned
why cant i walk away?
why should i care ?
is it just a matter of being me
or are we just the worlds most perfect pair
you give me the mask i need to wear
we must be the worlds most perfect pair

And: I think his description might indeed just be what those lyrics are about :)
Yesterday, about 3 years after the end of said relationship, he tells me this song always reminds him of me.
He started to explain what he thinks the song means:
"To me it's about love for a person you shouldn't be loving that way, for whatever reason. The first lines make me think that even when everyone looks the same to me, I see you being different, being everything no one else could ever even try to be. Then the "Why'd you have to... ...should I care?"-part is me thinking I should stop wanting something I can never have, and wishing you'd just get out of my head. Then there's the lines about how I'm thinking of all we ever were and the fact that we never really adressed the things that were between us... and while I recognize them now, I keep thinking you're the best that's ever happened to me. As for the mask: you were always the one to give me the strength to face the world."
I really wanted to hit myself when he was finished but all I could realy do was cry my brains out.
I think what he described fits the lyrics really well.
"you shine on, stronger than i've ever seen you. why'd you have to come around? Why can't i walk away? Why should i care? is it just a matter of being me or are we just the world's most perfect pair?"
