A Man Like Me Lyrics
I've been waiting all night long
I've been waiting to sing your song Tonight, will you help me Just help me find your key? I run my hands down your neck Across your back to another fret I know you're fragile You're bound to self-destruct And I can see right through your skin Your bones are hollow, they're paper-thin Tonight, you're weightless I know the way you feel So try, try lifting all your weight For a man, a man gone wrong. And try, try wasting all your days On a man, a man like me. And my love is a lot like yours It's been crippled by the wars we wage We're hopeless We're on the losing side You never speak when we're making love You never mean it when you come to me With your arms stretched Defenseless and alone So try, try lifting all your weight For a man, a man gone wrong. And try, try wasting all your days On a man, a man like me. I taste you on my fingers And I smell you on my lips I don't know where you're going But you're going to slip Hey, honey, better save yourself You're never gonna make it Hey, honey, honey, better save yourself You're never gonna make it. So try, try lifting all your weight For a man, a man gone wrong. And try, try wasting all your days On a man, a man like me.

Across your back to another fret "
Well, frets are on guitars, so either he is singing to a guitar or he is simply describing how he wrote a song for a woman he loves and now he is performing it for her.
"And my love is a lot like yours
It's been crippled by the wars we wage
We're hopeless
We're on the losing side "
Basically, the relationship he has with this woman is very fragile. They have fought so much that it has weakened or "crippled" their love for each other.
"You never speak when we're making love
You never mean it when you come to me
With your arms stretched "
Basically he doesn't feel like the woman is being honest with him. He doesn't think she really loves him.
As a sidenote, I don't think he is trying to tell his girlfriend that she has an elongated spherical shape. The words are not, therefore, "Defenseless and oblong", but "Defenseless and alone".
My favorite part is when he says
"I taste you on my fingers
And I smell you on my lips"
Also, soundgoround, it's not emo, so please don't get too excited.

i think he is trying to say that they have both been in hard relationships before and that they are both scared of getting hurt again...and that they'll never get anywhere if they don't just tell each other what they really mean. they can't really show what they mean to each other for fear of getting hurt...and so he thinks that she doesn't love him when she's with him...she just needs somebody
whoa...this is way wrong, but i was just throwing it out there as a suggestion
