Let's just stop,
drop everything,
(forget each other's names) forget each other's names,
And just walk away.

Turn around and head in different directions,
Like we never, it's like we never knew each other at all.
We said what we feel, then we stop ourselves,
And just walk away.
Never looking back,
Loving every second of it,
we just walk away.

This is probably the best,
not to mention the worst idea,
that I have ever had.

Ignoring what we've loved,
Overlooking what we've done,
No awkward silences, no hiding any truths
What do you say?

We say what we feel,
Then we stop ourselves,
And just walk away.
Never looking back,
Loving every second of it,
We just walk away.

Let's just stop,
Drop everything,
Forget each other's names,
Can we please just walk away?
It could be...could be...
Like we never knew each other at all.

Answer me!
All egos aside, what do you say?

    General Comment:This song is about a while back when Craig Owens was thinking about leaving the band, it's not about a relationship. This was like way back before he got kicked out of course

    General Comment:I agree with DruidJJR, but i kinda have a different view. I think the song is about two friends, a guy and a girl who have had an affair with one another but the guy feels guilty and obligated to end the relationship with his friend. like the rift that formed was the fact that he was already involved with someone and its tearing him apart inside.

    General Comment:Typical wanting no commitment, and don't want to get hurt. You want to be with the person but you don't want the risk of being hurt, everyones been there done that.

    My favorite lines in the song. Don't really know if you can get much better than that. Also...
    "Turn around and head in different directions,
    Like we never, it's like we never knew each other at all.
    We said what we feel, then we stop ourselves,
    And just walk away.
    Never looking back,
    Loving every second of it,
    we just walk away."
    Simplicity of turning your back on someone even though you love them.
    Definitely about a relationship between boy and girl (or otherwise, depending your sexual orientation.)
    Everyone's done it, I do it all the time.
    Save yourself before you get hurt.

    General Comment:I really love this song<3
    To me, it means after two people have walked away from a great relationship, even efter they're not together anymore, they still love each other after all they've been through together.

    General Comment:i see this song in TWO ways:
    1)i agree with everyone on the whole breaking up thing. that DEF clearly works.

    2)i also see it in another way...
    i think it can also be about two people cheating or trying not to cheat. The singer wants to cheat (or has cheated) on their BF/GF with the person they are singing the song to. He has feelings for this person. He thinks its best that he doesn't talk to them anymore bc of the temptation and problems it can/will cause for him and his GF/BF. for example:

    This is probably the best,
    not to mention the worst idea,
    that I have ever had.

    AND

    We say what we feel,
    Then we stop ourselves,
    And just walk away.

    General Comment:In a Podcast interview with AP Magazine, Craig Owens revealed that the song "Baby, You Wouldn't Last a Minute on the Creek" is lyrically about Craig wanting to quit the band, not about the end of a relationship like majority assumed.
