Well I know you don't know the reason
And it's cold, a sign of the season
'Cause you're old, and battered and beaten
And we'll grow, 'til we hit the ceiling, yeah
Well I'll be better, get away
Send a letter, bombs away
You're covered in my skin
I couldn't imagine anyone else
I'm off for the weekend
I couldn't imagine why you would save yourself
Well it's gone and it's not returning
And your clothes and pictures are burning
'Cause you're old, and battered and beaten
And we'll grow, til we hit the ceiling, yeah
Well I'll be better, get away
Send a letter, bombs away
You're covered in my skin
I couldn't imagine anyone else
I'm off for the weekend
I couldn't imagine why you would save yourself
Well I'll be better, get away
Send a letter, bombs away
You're covered in my skin
I couldn't imagine anyone else
I'm off for the weekend
I couldn't imagine anyone else
You're covered in my skin
I couldn't imagine anyone else
I'm off for the weekend
I couldn't imagine why you would save yourself
And it's cold, a sign of the season
'Cause you're old, and battered and beaten
And we'll grow, 'til we hit the ceiling, yeah
Well I'll be better, get away
Send a letter, bombs away
You're covered in my skin
I couldn't imagine anyone else
I'm off for the weekend
I couldn't imagine why you would save yourself
Well it's gone and it's not returning
And your clothes and pictures are burning
'Cause you're old, and battered and beaten
And we'll grow, til we hit the ceiling, yeah
Well I'll be better, get away
Send a letter, bombs away
You're covered in my skin
I couldn't imagine anyone else
I'm off for the weekend
I couldn't imagine why you would save yourself
Well I'll be better, get away
Send a letter, bombs away
You're covered in my skin
I couldn't imagine anyone else
I'm off for the weekend
I couldn't imagine anyone else
You're covered in my skin
I couldn't imagine anyone else
I'm off for the weekend
I couldn't imagine why you would save yourself

I think it's about youth:
A guy who thought he'd be young realizes he's getting old:" I couldn't imagine why you would save yourself".
He discovers this feeling of being young is getting away forever, and though he misses it and is now aware this was one of the best feelings he'd have so far, he deals with it: "Well oh we better, get away";"I couldn't imagine anyone else"; "When it's gone, and it's not returning".
He looks at his old stuff and decides to go on, to live his new life:"And your clothes and pictures are burning".
But once again, this is my interpretation.
and this is my interpretation...
so someone is in some sort of relationship with someone else and it's been going on for a long time. both people in this relationship want it to end, but they can never end it, but they really want to, but they just can't, and the feelings keep coming in waves...the lines "Well I know you don't know the reason, And it's cold, a sign of the season" and "Well it's gone and it's not returning, And your clothes and pictures are burning" show how they really don't have anything left for each other, but when he says "I couldn't imagine anyone else," it's like they don't want anyone but each other. Hence, they're stuck not wanting to be together and not being able to be apart.
but that's only what i took from it, agree or disagree as you wish :)
the meanings of the songs are great, because it leaves it sort of to interpretation, so you can always connect to any song they sing.
