This is why events unnerve me
They find it all, a different story
Notice whom for wheels are turning
Turn again and turn towards this time
All she asks is the strength to hold me
Then again the same old story
Word will travel, oh so quickly
Travel first and lean towards this time

Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows it's got to be this time
Watching her, these things she said
The times she cried
Too frail to wake this time

Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time
Avenues all lined with trees
Picture me and then you start watching
Watching forever
Forever
Watching love grow, forever
Letting me know, forever

    firstly, i think this song is about reunions, seeing people you havent seen in a really long time.... the 1st verse brings up the fact that whenever you meet people you havent seen in awhile, there are different stories, but in the end its all just the same, its as though not many people seem to change.. "notice whom for wheels are turning" <-- talk about who's become successful and made something of themselves.. the 2nd verse deals with his frustration with the people he disliked or dislikes. "ill break them down, no mercy shown" entangled in that, is his love for someone, the reason he hates these people is because they treated the girl he loved like crap. in summary, i think its about the frustration of a kind person aimed at people who didnt realise the long term effects of their mistreatment of others.
