Lyrics for Trust Me as interpreted by Alli-oh!

Trust Me Lyrics
Looking for something I've never seen
Alone and I'm in between
The place that I'm from and
The place that I'm in
A city I never been
I found a friend or should I say a foe
Said there's a few things you should know
We don't want you to see
We come and we go
Here today, gone tomorrow.

We're only taking turns
Holding this world
It's how it's always been
When you're older you will understand.

If I say who I know it just goes to show
You need me less than I need you
Take it from me we
Don't give sympathy
You can trust me trust nobody
But I said you and me
We don't have honesty
The things we don't want to speak
I'll try to get out but I never will
Traffic is perfectly still

We're only taking turns
Holding this world
It's how it's always been
When you're older you will understand

And then again maybe you don't
And then again maybe you won't

When you're older
You might understand.
When you're older
You might understand.

I listen to this song when I think about leaving home and going to college. I'm scared about it, and somehow it relieves me, even though I get the feeling he's scared too. . .

I love this song...it makes me think about being the first person in the relationship to know that it is coming to an end...knowing that it hurts today, but you may understand why later in life

this song reminds me of a relationship where the guy has cheated, and at first can't decide if he should tell or not

I cannot get enough of this song! My favourite one for sure! I just picture a father reminiscing his life and just being caught up in a situation with the mother. He wants more, '' we don't have honesty'' '' we come and we go'' means that things are not working out between them, but he wants to let his son know that he'll try to get out but he never will, and that he can trust him and that he'll understand the situation later.

Besides Look After You, I like this song.

If I say who I know
It just goes to show
You need me less than I need you

That's my favorite part.

Yep, it's about growing up, and that part that prowler kid quoted is the best part of the song.

I think it's about a young person, either literally or figuratively talking to a person about how the world is...or isn't. The "person" is explaining how complex the world is, how you can trust him, but trust nobody. Basically about all the uncertainty in the world.

It's a good song with such a meaning. Somehow, I get the idea of wisdom whenever I listen to this song. It's like the singer is telling or teaching somebody the ways of the world, but I could be wrong..

The closing song, "Trust Me," off of "How to Save a Life," is one of King's favorites to play during live sets. "It's such a beautiful song. I kind of lose myself in it. It's the story from the early days of The Fray -- when we didn't have a label, and you didn't know who to trust, and people were telling us which direction to go in. It's a song about the feeling of almost being alone, despite there be a lot of people around.

Well, I adore this song. It always makes me reminice [sp?] about the good memories of my past. Even though meiquoren787 gave the right interpetation, it always reminded me of a father talking to his son and giving him little pieces of advice. Or a son leaving home for good, or maybe just to college. It reminds me of changes. It's beautiful.

my brother was putting me to bed one night when i was sad and he sang this to me and i instantly fell in love with it and the words now make me think of something he'd say to me, thinking about it its either about a parent to child thing or an older to younger sibling thing

i love this song!

I think this song is about a parent trying to explain to their child why they are getting a divorce with the other parent. When it says 'we're only taking turns, holding this world" the parent is trying to say that they are going to be taking turns taking care of the children, and its how its always been anyway, because the family never did anything together. They are sayng that the child might not understand it right now, but when they are older they will understand. Also when the song says,"if i say who i know it just goes to show you need me less than i need you." the parent has probably cheated, but they need their child, and are afraid if they tell them that they have cheated, then the child wont trust them anymore, and hate them.
wow...ive been wanting to say what i thought of this song forever. I iove this song. its amazing! =]

But I said you and me
We don't have honesty
The things we don't want to speak
I'll try to get out but I never will
Traffic is perfectly still

So beautiful. It's just a nice, serene, beautiful song. Probably my favorite by The Fray.

i think those who believe this song is about a parent and child are taking it too literally.. "when you're older you'll understand" is most likely a statement referring to a girl in a relationship who's naive and possibly self-centered-- she doesn't really understand what's going on.. and the whole "we're taking turns" could me people in a relationsphip.. guys and girls.. sometimes girls seem in control and dominate and others the girls are the ones who get "in too deep" and they're at the mercy of the other. Trust no one.. you never know what'll happen.. that's how i see it anyway

i think this song is about being alone and trying to figure out what your supposed to be doing and the way the world works. but i think the song is trying to say that everybody is having a go, trying to figure out the same thing but you might never find out.

To me,
this song talks about not knowing who you are.
It's like he's trying to tell someone younger than him, that when you reach a certain age you start to question things. You start to really evaluate everything you thought was important and if it really is anymore. It's like he's questioning every fiber of his being, and a younger person is trying to understand, wants to understand even, but can't. Because he'll never understand until he's there. This song really means a lot to me, I found it at a point in my life when I really was questioning everything in my life, who i was and who I am going to be. Thank God for The Fray and this song.
