I was your fire once
You thought of me as your one true love
I got so mad
Said things that later I would regret and regret and regret
Holding onto my chest and pounding till it turns purple
A breaking bow and the sound of a scream muffled by pillows
So don't so long
And don't farewell
Hear me out now I've just begun to say

Parker
Do you remember
How I carried your heart
And I carried it far
And I know
That there's no one to blame
Its a sure given shame of my own
That you don't,
Remember

sworn off blue lips
Kiss them warm
With love comes deep dark red
And paper cuts
From letters I re-write explaining how to fall in love
Well pictures inspire and songs never tire
And there's always clouds to float upon
Saving me best for last
Down for keeps up for grabs
We'll play stop and go
But it feels just like freeze tag
So I'll see you right
Applaud and encore
I'll be braver just you wait here 'till I say

Parker
Do you remember
How I carried your heart
And I carried it far
And I know
That there's no one to blame
It's a sure shame of my own

I'm naked once so don't think twice
Hold on
It's hard enough to bite my shy
Hold on
Hold on
Hold tight

Parker
Do you remember
How I carried your heart
And I carried it far
Parker
Do you remember
How I carried your heart
And I carried it far
And I know
That there's no one to blame
It's a sure given shame of my own
Of my own
Of my own
It's a sure shame of my own
That you don't that you won't remember

    General Comment:This song took a whole new meaning to me last Monday, when my boyfriend broke up with me. Coincidentially enough, his name was Parker. This song was most certainly on repeat.

    This song tells about a girl who was dating a boy named Parker that she really cared about, and vice versa. But things somehow got messed up in their relationship, and she said and did things she very much regretted. Once it ended, she got upset and didn't know how to handle her out of control emotions, so she cried and got angry, and that of course was the post-break up stress. That's what the first verse tells us.

    The chorus goes on to show that she's trying to make him remember the way they used to be, and how great it was. She doesn't blame anyone for the breakup but herself.

    In the next verse "sworn off blue lips" refers to her still wanting him, but she can't have him. And I think the "letters I rewrite explaining how to fall in love" shows her trying to figure out what love really is, and wondering if they were really in love, and trying to get him to fall for her once she can't get over him. I think the "We'll play stop and go, but it feels just like freeze tag" shows that things go from being good and bad and from blaming one to blaming the other, and just that everything is a mess.

    "I'm naked once so don't think twice" is a line that I couldn't ever understand in the song, but I now interpret it as her exposing herself. Maybe she doesn't want him to turn back ("so don't think twice") now that he's hurt her so bad, because she can't trust him now.

    I could go into detail about every line, but most of it is pretty self-explanatory.

    Such a marvelous song, but so painful once it happens to you.

    My Opinion:i think it's about a girl and her boyfriend, parker?, and how they broke up. but she still cares for him, and will remember him forever as they were each other's first love. but then i get the feel that this "parker" is being a jerk about it and refusing to acknowledge that their relationship was as serious as it was.
