  General Comment:I think the songs about cocaine to be honest.
  
  You said you never took a ride
  And now you wanna play
  Well, it's a big, big city
  Let me show you around
  
  I think this is about Rob introducing someone to cocaine who had never done it before. He's gonna show them what it's all about.
  
  And now you crossed that line
  You can't come back
  Tell me how does it feel now?
  It's too late
  Too much to forget about
  Can't stop now
  Tell me, how does it feel now?
  I'm only asking because I wanna know
  How you wanna feel
  
  Now hes saying that the person tried it and he wants to know what they thought of it. "and now you crossed that line, you can't come back" i think that's about the person who tried it, and they loved it. "cant stop now, how does it feel now" is like him saying "now do you see why i do coke? its great"
  
  I'm a wreck
  I'm a mess
  I'm a spot on the pavement
  I'm a number on the wall
  I make your soul tired
  Yeah, and I don't think I like this game no more
  It goes around and 'round and 'round
  I'll tell you one more time
  One more time
  
  I think this is him realizing he's addicted and explaining what it was doing to his life. "ill tell you one more time, one more time" is him saying well... i might as well do it one more time.

  General Comment:I think he was just really pissed off when he wrote this, so he's just kind of saying "ok i've had enough i don't need you screwing up my life... get the hell out of it" just basically kicking this person out of his life really quickly

  General Comment:I think this song is about someone who spent his/her entire life sheltered and He brought them out into the world.
  
  "What you want
  What you got
  Live your life in a crawlspace
  Help you out
  But you don't
  Want a chance at a better life
  You said you never took a ride
  And now you wanna play
  Well it's a big, big city
  Let me show you around"
  They spent their entire life in a "crawlspace"(sheltered) and now they want to see what it is really like
  
  I think toward the end when he sings
  "I'm a wreck
  I'm a mess
  I'm a spot on the pavement
  I'm a number on the wall
  I'll make your soul tired
  I don't think I like this game
  No more"
  
  i think he is saying he has been in the world so long that he is a bit sick of it.

  General Comment:I love this song, it's a great opening for More Than You Think You Are, but I couldn't tell exactly its meaning, I guess only Rob, Paul and Kyle know if it was for a former friend, or girlfriend. To me it could be about betrayal by any of them.
  The line "I'm only asking because I wanna know...how you wanna feel" kind of puzzles me, because he doesn't want to be involved with the person anymore, but that line sounds like an invitation?.
  When I listen to this song it makes me feel about a very important friend I used to have, and how we messed it up by sleeping together, and how he let me down with his behaviour afterwards. So, some lines really fit into my regretful, kind of angry and bittersweet mood: "And now you've crossed that line, you can't go back tell me how does it feel now? It's too late, too much to forget about..."

  General Comment:its about a person who was there for a friend, but the friend abused it and took it for granted and the person isn't there anymore. now the friend wants to come back, but the person won't let them in anymore cause the friend screwed it up.

  General Comment:I think it's about a failed relationship where something went wrong really quickly
  
  "And now
  You crossed that line
  You can't come back
  Tell m e how does it feel now
  Too late
  Too much to forget about
  Can't stop now
  Tell me how does it feel now
  I'm only asking
  Because I wanna know
  How you wanna feel "
  
  Rob Thomas is amazing
