It was just a few years in the making now.
The two were locked in a heated dispute,
Cause he was gone when she needed him more.
Then she could really ever let on to.
They were the poster perfect high school sweethearts,
But moving out can't erase the time.
The two had spent on working it out and
Everybody knew that they were out of their minds.
Oh, you really need to settle down,
And let it go.
You really need settle down,
You really need to let it go.
Consider this, he was moving on while
She was busy trying to pass the time
Between the previous and next nervous breakdown.
The girl had given up the love of her life.
And all the time that she was givin' up slowly
he didn't notice when she ran away
and when it came the funny letting him on
well this is every single word she'd say
Oh, you really need to settle down,
And let it go.
You really need settle down,
No you really need to let it go.
For good, forget his lies
It's the only way to save your life.
Cause this is restitution
For the love you've thrown away.
Just say you left me like you could.
Oh, oh you said you never would.
Just say it's done, and be gone.
Just say it's done, and be gone.
Let it go!
You really need settle down,
And let it go!
You really need to settle down,
You really need to let it go.
For good, forget his lies,
It's the only way to save your life.
Cause this is restitution
For the love you've thrown away.
The two were locked in a heated dispute,

Oh, you really need to settle down,
And let it go.
You really need settle down,
You really need to let it go.

Cause this is restitution
For the love you've thrown away.

damnnnnnnnn soo concise
it's
"Moving out can't erase the time
The two had spent on working it out
And everybody knew that they were out of their minds."
And yeah you missed out a bit!
Tsktsk.
after, "the girl had given up the love of her life", the lyrics say:
"And all the time that she was giving up slowly
He didn't notice when she ran away
and when it came to finally letting him on
well this is every single word she'd say"
and yes, i def. think this song is about a 'perfect relationship' but it's been slowly pulling apart and the guy is a jerk, but the girl is just trying to hold on to the pieces. so the lyrics are telling the girl to just "let it go" and maybe the guy is constantly pulling the girl back into love with him, hence the "forget his lies" and "just say it's done, and be gone". kinda like a band-aid- rip it off quickly. less painful in a sense.
At least that's how I take it. =]
In the verse where they say:
And all the time that she was givin' up slowly
he didn't notice when she ran away
and when it came to finally letting him on
well this is every single word she'd say...
Oh, you know you really need to settle down
And let it go.
What does that mean?? Why would she say that if she was trying to let him know that she still wanted him?
love this cd.
love this band.
gahh :]
