So write it down in lover's blood
There's gotta be a better way to break this spell
Send out a search party
Have you forgot how to love or how to die
I see the crosses behind your eyes
When will the fire burn out
Is it after we've covered our tracks
I'm not going to stay to find out
He never asked for much
If the fire burns out will it ever light up again
It's been so long since I've seen your eyes this cold
When did you let them step in
When did you let them take control
So sound the alarm
There's gotta be a better way to break this spell
Tell the whole world that I left without his love
At the chiming of the bells
I've been dreaming of elaborate schemes
Thought the love was good for a while
It's been much easier to leave
I've got a new life now
This couldn't have come at a worse time
I guess you had to find out about this
Unrequited love that I deny
You say you fell out of love
Well I call this abandonment
There's gotta be a better way to break this spell
Send out a search party
Have you forgot how to love or how to die
I see the crosses behind your eyes
When will the fire burn out
Is it after we've covered our tracks
I'm not going to stay to find out
He never asked for much
If the fire burns out will it ever light up again
It's been so long since I've seen your eyes this cold
When did you let them step in
When did you let them take control
So sound the alarm
There's gotta be a better way to break this spell
Tell the whole world that I left without his love
At the chiming of the bells
I've been dreaming of elaborate schemes
Thought the love was good for a while
It's been much easier to leave
I've got a new life now
This couldn't have come at a worse time
I guess you had to find out about this
Unrequited love that I deny
You say you fell out of love
Well I call this abandonment

"Send out a search party
Have you forgot how to love or how to die
I see the crosses behind your eyes
When will the fire burn out
Is it after we've covered our tracks
I'm not going to stay to find out "
This part makes me think of a search party of people burning crosses going after the person who committed this act with a girl and he is running away
Well I could pretty much quote the whole thing and explain but if you read through it again it makes more sense
I think at the end of the song he wants to start over and do it right but he has already committed his crime, so he feels abandonded that they won't give him another chance and he has to go.
"if the fire burns out will it ever light up again?"
that is like the most amazing line in a song ever.
i love it so freakin much.
but that is just me. and this song is definitely about a questionable break up " if the fire burns out will it ever light up again?" that "couldnt have come at a worse time"...unrequited means " not returned" so maybe there were still feelings on one half of it but it never worked out so they got tired of waiting " i'm not going to stay to find out" and so moved on and " got a new life now " . . . . i dunno, that is what it said to me.
When he says "If the fire burns out will it ever light up again" to me that means if u leave will u ever come back.
"I'm not going to stay to find out" im not gonna wait anymore
"I've got a new life now" i moved on
"This couldn't have come at a worse time" you waited too long
this is just my interpretation, what it means to me
in case u were wondering me n my boyfriend are back together and we dont fight anymore because i finally put all my trust in God.
As for the meaning of the song, i dont really know. It could be about a couples break up. it could be about someone leaving their faith. it could be both. Does anyone else know?
