This room's been dusted And it's covered in prints from The month you spent with me. And I've cataloged it, Arranged the report with a chapter every week And I've studied sleepless Biting my nails and grinding my teeth. And I think I've had it, But that makes two of us, 'Cause you've had it with me. And here in the meantime, I'm a fly on the wall, and glued to the action. A twist in the plotline, A demand for a call, the loss of attraction. And I'll tell you the worst part: You're exactly the way that I thought you would be So I'll stay for the last call 'Cause I'd move away, but I'm never ready to leave. Whoa, whoa. Well I'd move away but I'm never ready to leave. This house is haunted But not in the way that you've always heard it said No dusty attic No razor teeth making camp beneath your bed. But I've heard them walking late at night The twins of confusion and regret And they share ths stories of things that I have done That I'd rather just forget. Here in the meantime, I'm a fly on the wall, and glued to the action. A twist in the plotline, A demand for a call, the loss of attraction. And I'll tell you the worst part: You're exactly the way that I thought you would be So I'll stay for the last call 'Cause I'd move away but I'm never ready to leave. So this is how it feels to be 24 A thief without a key to an open the door Just peering through the window For any clue, Or anything explaining a part of you. I guess the real question is, I don't know, Is, why I am afraid of letting go? Why am I afraid of letting go? Here in the meantime, I'm a fly on the wall, and glued to the action. A twist in the plotline, A demand for a call, a loss of attraction. And I'll tell you the worst part: You're exactly the way that I thought you would be So I'll stay for the last call 'Cause I'd move away but I'm never ready to leave. Whoa, whoa Well I'd move away but I'm never ready to leave. 'Cause I'd move away but I'm never ready to leave. Well I'd move away but I'm never ready to leave.

    General Comment:Wow, this song is so poetic:

    But I've heard them walking late at night
    With twins of confusion and regret
    And they share ths stories of things that I have done
    That I'd rather just forget.

    When I first heard those words, it just blew me away. So relatable.

    General Comment:maybe she left him. at first, i was thinking they both decided to end a relationship, just like what everyone else thought.. but i dont think so anymore. this is one of the ONLY songs that has had me hearing it over and over again and i still do not get it, yet i feel i can relate to it... anyway, i think she left him, because her ''bed'' is still there. its like they were metaphorically living together, say, were in a relationship. and he did some wrong things.. ''share the stories of things ive done that id rather just forget'' out of ''confusion and regret''.. so at first, he didnt know if she was the one he wanted to be with, and he messed up.. and she left him. and he wasnt sure if he wanted to be with her and now he knows he does, but its over and he needs 2 move on, but cant.

    General Comment:It kind of sounds like a relationship that ended rather messy... strange-like. It's over, they are both moving on, but there's some level of confusion there... or maybe it ended suddenly... and the singer is having a hard time letting go... but know that he must.

    General Comment:i always thought the song was about when your in your early twenties, and you offically have to grow up and let go of all childish things. he'll move on, but he's never ready to leave that time

    General Comment:Yeah, the two people lived together but then ended on a bad note and the girl moved out. The guy has trouble letting go, whereas the girl seems to have had an easier time (or at least she puts on that face).

    I think the call refers to a telephone call... he's constantly waiting for her to call him. He wants the attention.. to know that she still thinks about him just like he thinks about her.

    General Comment:also, i think that "So I'll staple the last call" is supposed to be "so i'll stay for the last call" meaning that he's going to hang around the bar until they say last call for all drinks.
