Tonight is the one thing left
And I haven't said it yet, I'm falling
And the writings on the wall
Today was misery
And I just can't believe this happened
And I finally broke down (finally broke down)
She held onto my heart
But now my only star is falling
And it's burning to the ground
Now I'm crying out
[Chorus]
Secret love, my escape
Take me far, far away
Secret love, are you there
Will you answer my prayer
Please take me anywhere but here
Anywhere but here
You're all I've got right now
No one else figures out this feeling
And how lonely it can get (how lonely it can get)
These words can cut right through
'Cause all along I knew you're sorry
But you haven't said it yet
But I won't forget
[Chorus]
When we're together
Thoughts of her disappear
If I fell to pieces
You'd heal this pain I feel
Secret love, my escape
Take me far far away
Secret love, are you there
Will you answer my prayer
[Chorus]
And I haven't said it yet, I'm falling
And the writings on the wall
Today was misery
And I just can't believe this happened
And I finally broke down (finally broke down)
She held onto my heart
But now my only star is falling
And it's burning to the ground
Now I'm crying out
[Chorus]
Secret love, my escape
Take me far, far away
Secret love, are you there
Will you answer my prayer
Please take me anywhere but here
Anywhere but here
You're all I've got right now
No one else figures out this feeling
And how lonely it can get (how lonely it can get)
These words can cut right through
'Cause all along I knew you're sorry
But you haven't said it yet
But I won't forget
[Chorus]
When we're together
Thoughts of her disappear
If I fell to pieces
You'd heal this pain I feel
Secret love, my escape
Take me far far away
Secret love, are you there
Will you answer my prayer
[Chorus]

so i like to think that it's about music
he's had an awful day and his gf broke up with him
and so he turns to music as his secret love to take him away
"Secret love, my escape
Take me far, far away
Secret love, are you there?
Will you answer my prayer?
Please take me anywhere but here
Anywhere but here"
"Secret love", being the addiction.
"My escape", pretty self-explanatory.
"Take me far, far away", similar to the previous line, it's like an output.
"Secret love, are you there?", I'm not entirely sure about this line.
"Will you answer my prayer?", ^
"Please take me anywhere but here, Anywhere but here",
The first verse sounds like what caused the person to resort to this.
The second verse sounds pretty similar to the first.
And, same with the rest of the song.
But, you know, it might not be necessarily drugs.
I'm not entirely sure, this is just my interpretation.
When we're together
Thoughts of her disappear
If I fell to pieces
You'll heal this pain I feel
The drugs make her memories go, the drugs make him fall to pieces while healing it.
Still hoping it's about a new girl rather than about drugs.
I think the band still sounds great without jason.
like, he was with a girl, then she broke his heart and he's going mad. but he found a new girl, his "secret love", and she makes him forget the girl that broke his heart and keeps him happy for the time being. he wants her to help him escape his heartbreak and everything that reminds him of his ex. he wants his secret love to keep him happy, like she already does.
it reminds me of a situation i was in... i was in love with a girl, my first real love, but she broke my heart and i really was going crazy, this was february. then this boy that goes to my old school started talking to me, shortly after my heartbreak and we talked a lot. he started falling for me, and i went to him when i had no one else to turn to. he was like my "secret love". we've been together for over a month and he makes me so happy. if it weren't for him, i'd still be dwelling on my ex. but i try really hard to not let thoughts of her get to me, and he's just made everything better.
Anyway, I think this song is definitely about a relationship that isn't going well, but this part:
"When we're together
Thoughts of her disappear
If I fell to pieces
You'll heal this pain I feel"
Is about his friends. How do I know this? The music video. At that part, you see Derek and the rest of the band hanging out in the city with the same car from the beginning.
