old doubt and a girl by your side she's feeding your pride
as you go for a ride
down the star mile
world's rise as she lets you come in
a duo begins to the hollywood din
of the lonely
and all the gold dust in her eyes
won't reform into a ring
you had and lost the one thing
you kept in a safe place
remember the face
the girl who had made you her own
and how you left her alone
all's well at the base of the hill
you might need to fill
a prescription to kill
off the sirens
look down from your tower on high
and take in the night
look her right in the eye
she'll listen
and all the gold dust in her eyes
won't reform into a ring
you had and lost the one thing
you kept in a safe place
remember the face
the girl who had made you her own
and how you left her alone
life comes to those that'll choose
the regular news
over playing the blues with the light on
and if you burn the road that'll lead you
back to her in time
i'll watch you turn to stone
can't find the sublime
she's moving on without you
the tide breaks
you watch the stars fake
they gather you back to their homes
i guess it's better than being alone
as you go for a ride
down the star mile
world's rise as she lets you come in
a duo begins to the hollywood din
of the lonely
and all the gold dust in her eyes
won't reform into a ring
you had and lost the one thing
you kept in a safe place
remember the face
the girl who had made you her own
and how you left her alone
all's well at the base of the hill
you might need to fill
a prescription to kill
off the sirens
look down from your tower on high
and take in the night
look her right in the eye
she'll listen
and all the gold dust in her eyes
won't reform into a ring
you had and lost the one thing
you kept in a safe place
remember the face
the girl who had made you her own
and how you left her alone
life comes to those that'll choose
the regular news
over playing the blues with the light on
and if you burn the road that'll lead you
back to her in time
i'll watch you turn to stone
can't find the sublime
she's moving on without you
the tide breaks
you watch the stars fake
they gather you back to their homes
i guess it's better than being alone

I'd like to think that he'll realise we he was wrong now that he doesn't have me but mostly this song is just assisting me in wishful thinking.
To me, it's simply about a boy and girl who were in love, until he left her. After which she fell in love with someone else and he regrets leaving her 'cause he realizes he loved her. The last verse is talking about how he wants to get back with her but isn't sure he can, and if he can't have her, he will probably ever find love again.
Just my take on it ;)
"old doubt and a girl by your side she's feeding your pride"
--a guy is out (without his girlfriend, fiancee, etc.) and is flirting with another girl. It feels good to him because it reminds him of being single. He is also scared because his single life is coming to an end because of this serious relationship ("old doubt"). The girl at the bar is "feeding his pride" and making him feel that single rush again.
"and all the gold dust in her eyes
won't reform into a ring"
--The sparkle in the girl's eyes is great for the night but it will fade and can never amount to what he see's in his girlfriend's/fiancee's eyes.
"you had and lost the one thing
you kept in a safe place
remember the face
the girl who had made you her own
and how you left her alone "
--basically he slept with the girl at the bar and lost the best thing in his life - the girl that helped make him who he is.
"all's well at the base of the hill
you might need to fill
a prescription to kill
off the sirens"
--his mistake is killing him and he constantly thinks about what he lost
"look down from your tower on high
and take in the night
look her right in the eye
she'll listen"
--he has to swallow his pride, tell his girlfriend/fiancee the truth and that he was wrong
"life comes to those that'll choose
the regular news"
--sometimes the married life doesn't seem as exciting as the single life but the fun of the single life gets old and people begin to long for the security and commonality of being married
"and if you burn the road that'll lead you
back to her in time
i'll watch you turn to stone
can't find the sublime
she's moving on without you"
--obviously she doesn't take him back and moves on to a better life with someone who treats her right and respects her
"the tide breaks
you watch the stars fade
they gather you back to their homes
i guess it's better than being alone"
--he's back to the bars and one night stands again, lying to himself about enjoying being single, but deep down he knows all these "new and exciting" encounters at bars aren't filling the gap of losing the best thing that he had - but I guess "it's better than being alone"
Again, this is just my interpretation based upon what I've experienced and saw in The Last Kiss.
the first time i heard this song it moved me to tears. its truly a beautiful song.
He should take up poker!
