I won't mistake you for problems with me
I won't let my moods ruin this, you'll see
I won't take everything good and move it away
I won't be left dancing alone to songs from the past
Would you stay home and keep our memories warm with me
Would you give all your love for a run at the past with me
I know you're sad even though you say that you're not
I know you're scared even though you say that you're not
I won't get mad when you say things are getting too hard
I won't make all of your love so scared to come through our yard
I won't scream in my head and let it isolate me
I won't be left dancing alone to songs from the past.
I won't let my moods ruin this, you'll see
I won't take everything good and move it away
I won't be left dancing alone to songs from the past
Would you stay home and keep our memories warm with me
Would you give all your love for a run at the past with me
I know you're sad even though you say that you're not
I know you're scared even though you say that you're not
I won't get mad when you say things are getting too hard
I won't make all of your love so scared to come through our yard
I won't scream in my head and let it isolate me
I won't be left dancing alone to songs from the past.

i think this is where the meaning derives from. she's reflecting on, or saying what they are thinking, what they are not saying, what they didn't say and didn't do... the characters in the situation (her parents, in this instance). she also doesn't accept that it's basically without any meaning and just simple for them to listen to the music that they used to together, or to experience alone the things they know as shared, that the whole thing was worth that little. where does love go when it goes? if that love was real at one point, wouldn't it be enough? shouldn't it be?
i also think this song is just really sad and heartbreaking. the "i know you're sad even though you say that you're not, i know you're scared even though you say that you're not" always really gets me the most. the way she sings it is like she's understanding and empathizing, or she's feeling what she's saying, which makes it all the more affecting when listening. despite what they show, she knows they're sad, it's scary.
the speaker mentions not letting her sadness isolate her ("i won't scream in my head and let it isolate me"), to put herself and her feelings 100% into this new relationship. she knows that this new person is afraid and because of how these past relationships could affect their new one. she also knows it will get hard, because rehabilitating a heart is never easy work ("i won't get mad when you say things are getting too hard").
people who have been hurt deeply in the past tend to attribute these qualities to anyone they begin a new relationship with -- sometimes it even prevents them from getting into a new relationship. i think the speaker is talking from this position. the difference is she's found someone she wants to try with again, and she's trying to clear the ghosts from her past so she can find happiness again.
i thing she sings about her misbehaving towards her gf and how she feels like she is guilty that their relationship is going bad.
and i think she sees with the eyes of her gf and feels how she hurts her, though her gf don't say that she is sad and hurt.
"i won't mistake you
for problems with me
i won't let my moods
ruin this you'll see
i won't take everything good
and move it away"
i think shes trying to say that she wont do those things to avoid fighting so she can be together with her lover.
basically my situation with my boyfriend :(
"Would you give all you love
for a run at the past with me"
that to me is like she is saying give me yr love so we can try this whole relationship thing again. And she talks about her partner being scared, even though she says she not becuase the partner is scared about having to deal with the heart break again. basically the whole song is about her trying to woo her ex gf back.
The other person in the relationship is starting to get tired of it, but she still wants it to work and is trying to get better.
exactly where i'm pretty much at. =|
For me this song is about realising when you need to take risks and put yourself out there. It’s about accepting your past but refusing to let it take control of your future and admitting you need help every once in a while.
