Like I said
Leave your baggage at the back door
I'm leaving you the way I think it should be
We're always puling into spaces that we can't back out of
Starting fights we can't talk our way of them
How does it feel to be on the receiving end of this one?
[chorus]
I'm half way there and it's all on me
This is what I get for wanting more
This is the way it has to be
Dancing on all these changes
So I walk around with this rope in my hand
So I'll tie it around and around
I'll tie me down
I'll fantasize of being manic
And leaving us behind
In your eyes you were the one that tried
Acceptance is what holds us here
And you my dear are the one I fear tonight
We'll try this one more time
This is the moment that we all live for
Are you ready?
[repeat chorus]
You can't see past my waving hands
Just running away again
You can't see past my waving hands
Goodbye
You think so loud it hurts my ears
I want to know how to get through this
Without choking up
I can't feel you
You're so far from me
(This is what I get for wanting more)
(And it's all on me)
Leave your baggage at the back door
I'm leaving you the way I think it should be
We're always puling into spaces that we can't back out of
Starting fights we can't talk our way of them
How does it feel to be on the receiving end of this one?
[chorus]
I'm half way there and it's all on me
This is what I get for wanting more
This is the way it has to be
Dancing on all these changes
So I walk around with this rope in my hand
So I'll tie it around and around
I'll tie me down
I'll fantasize of being manic
And leaving us behind
In your eyes you were the one that tried
Acceptance is what holds us here
And you my dear are the one I fear tonight
We'll try this one more time
This is the moment that we all live for
Are you ready?
[repeat chorus]
You can't see past my waving hands
Just running away again
You can't see past my waving hands
Goodbye
You think so loud it hurts my ears
I want to know how to get through this
Without choking up
I can't feel you
You're so far from me
(This is what I get for wanting more)
(And it's all on me)

"This is what I get for wanting more"
It shows that the person is broken and this person stuck with the relationship even though they knew that they were going to get hurt in the end.
So I walk around with this rope in my hand
So I'll tie it around and around
I'll tie me down"
i think it means what it says. he's dancing around all the changes, or hes trying to escape or avoid the changes, but he'll tie himself down and just accept the changes that are happening around him.
The best part of the song^^^
The guy has an addiction and he's trying to get rid of it...But he gives up every time and now he's just 'Content with Losing'...Either makes sense to me...
Anyway, he says:
"I'm half way there and it's all on me
This is what I get for wanting more
This is the way it has to be
Dancing on all these changes
So I walk around with this rope in my hand
So I'll tie it around and around
I'll tie me down"
What I get from the chorus is he's almost there and about to give up his addiction completely then he gives in and says, "This is what I get for wanting more..." and he 'ties himself down'.
I don't know. Read the lyrics and maybe you'll get where I'm going (:
Either way, it's a great song.
"You can't see past my waving hands
Just grab it while you can"
I got the image of somebody drowning and another person trying to pull them up. I don't know why the full lyrics weren't printed.
hints to it..
"I'm half way there and it's all on me"
(talking about his penis almost in the vagina)
"This is the moment that we all live for
Are you ready?"
(having sex)
Like I said
Leave your baggage at the back door
I'm leaving you the way I think it should be
We're always puling into spaces that we can't back out of
Starting fights we can't talk our way of them
Basically i'm telling her to leave the things that make me sin far away from her, and telling her I want to leave her. I can't talk my way out what I have done, not to her. The other line reffers to being together at school in lessons "spaces that we can't back out of"
How does it feel to be on the receiving end of this one?
she's hurt my feelings by what she says and not loving me back, so i'm asking her how it feels if I say i'm not her friend to her and I want nothing to do with her.
I'm half way there and it's all on me
This is what I get for wanting more
This is the way it has to be
Dancing on all these changes
This will have more meaning when i'm halfway up to may when I leave school. I loose the girl and get emotionally abused in the end for wanting more than just a friendship. I'm celebrating the end of seeing her face "dancing on all these changes"
So I walk around with this rope in my hand
So I'll tie it around and around
I'll tie me down
sometimes I feel the only way to keep my hands off a girl for good is to tie myself down with rope, because I actually want to stop it with her and others.
I'll fantasize of being manic
And leaving us behind
In your eyes you were the one that tried
I'll be thinking of better times after her. She thinks she the one who tried, but I failed to her.
Acceptance is what holds us here
And you my dear are the one I fear tonight
We'll try this one more time
I fear her because she is the cause of wrongs and sins as far as physical contact goes, but I want to give myself one more chance with her.
This is the moment that we all live for
Are you ready?
we have a chance to take and if we throw it away there will be nothing for us.
You can't see past my waving hands
Just running away again
You can't see past my waving hands
Goodbye
goodbye because she can't see past my bad side to see that I have tried to change.
You think so loud it hurts my ears
I want to know how to get through this
Without choking up
I can't feel you
You're so far from me
I want to know how to get through this without getting killed as she has sometimes threatened. The last two lines are wishful and would make an ideal situation.
