We're only young and naive still
We require certain skills
The mood it changes like the wind
Hard to control when it begins
The bittersweet between my teeth
Trying to find the in-betweens
Fall back in love eventually
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Can't help myself but count the flaws
Claw my way out through these walls
One temporary escape
Feel it start to permeate
We lie beneath the stars at night
Our hands gripping each other tight
You keep my secrets hope to die
Promises, swear them to the sky
The bittersweet between my teeth
Trying to find the in-betweens
Fall back in love eventually
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
As it withers
Brittle it shakes
Can you whisper
As it crumbles and breaks
As you shiver
Count up all your mistakes
Pair of forgivers
Let go before it's too late
Can you whisper
Can you whisper
Can you whisper
Can you whisper
The bittersweet between my teeth
Trying to find the in-betweens
Fall back in love eventually
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
The bittersweet between my teeth
Trying to find the in-betweens
Fall back in love eventually
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
We require certain skills
The mood it changes like the wind
Hard to control when it begins
The bittersweet between my teeth
Trying to find the in-betweens
Fall back in love eventually
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Can't help myself but count the flaws
Claw my way out through these walls
One temporary escape
Feel it start to permeate
We lie beneath the stars at night
Our hands gripping each other tight
You keep my secrets hope to die
Promises, swear them to the sky
The bittersweet between my teeth
Trying to find the in-betweens
Fall back in love eventually
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
As it withers
Brittle it shakes
Can you whisper
As it crumbles and breaks
As you shiver
Count up all your mistakes
Pair of forgivers
Let go before it's too late
Can you whisper
Can you whisper
Can you whisper
Can you whisper
The bittersweet between my teeth
Trying to find the in-betweens
Fall back in love eventually
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
The bittersweet between my teeth
Trying to find the in-betweens
Fall back in love eventually
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

"As it withers
Brittle it shakes
Can you whisper
As it crumbles and breaks
As you shiver
Count up all your mistakes
Pair of forgivers
Let go before it's too late
Can you whisper
Can you whisper
Can you whisper
Can you whisper"
This is saying to enjoy the moments before they fade away and disregarding the mistakes made during this time.
smoking weed in particular: "we're all young and naive still, we require certain skills; the mood it changes like the wind, hard to control when it begins" "one temporary escape, feel it start to permeate" "bittersweet between my teeth, trying to find the in-betweens"
i think the "bittersweet between my teeth" refers to a cigarette/blunt/joint/whatever held between someone's teeth
[Can't help myself but count the flaws
Claw my way out through these walls
One temporary escape
Feel it start to permeate]
For a while I was pretty in love with this guy, but staying with him after a while, I began to count his flaws and began to dislike him for them. I wanted to escape the relationship and I did. I broke it off suddenly and ignored and avoided him for years to come. We were young then. We've grown now.
[The bittersweet between my teeth
Trying to find the in-betweens
Fall back in love eventually
Yeah yeah yeah yeah]
I'd still think of him, they were bittersweet thoughts. I loved him still, but a part of me disliked him. By a per chance meeting, we found each other again. We talked and talked, and it was a repeat of the past. But it was a bittersweet feeling because I knew I liked him but a part of me still found it painful. Yet, I tried really hard to find the in betweens, because in all honesty I really wanted to fall back in love with him.
The impermanence of youth and relationships. We can only realistically hold onto our memories and what once was--what once inhabited a space in time. Eventually, the old will always be replaced with the new and so the cycle continues.
cheers
I get that now. :)

For me this song is about the doubts, the maturity (or inmaturity that you experience in your youngness), and as it saids in the song "We are young and naive still" I dont think its refering only to a young love but to the "Young blood" that moves all the actions you do. When you are young you "fall back in love eventually", "The mood it changes like the wind" and you are constantly in all the situations "Trying to find the in-betweens" because you dont have the strenght to carry this situations alone (as in a relationship or as in situations with family or life in general).
I think the line " The bittersweet between my teeth" is a reference to the sweet and bitter moments you live. Like sometimes you have good moments and sometimes you have bad moments that are amplified by this changes of mood you have. SOmetimes you make mistakes that leave a bittersweet flavour in your teeth.
"Can't help myself but count the flaws
Claw my way out through these walls
One temporary escape
Feel it start to permeate"
When you are young you are constantly searching for the flaws wheter is in you or in the others; you are searching for escapes but in the end its only temporary and the feelings starts to permeate.
"As it withers
Brittle it shakes
Can you whisper
As it crumbles and breaks
As you shiver
Count up all your mistakes
Pair of forgivers
Let go before it's too late
Can you whisper"
I think this is a methaphor, as you grow and as it withers, as it brittle you have to learn to whisper ( to not make a big fuzz), you have to forgive yourself and the others and live with your mistakes because they make you grown.
For me this song expresses the beauty and the roughness of being young!! :)
trying to find the in-between
i think it means loving someone you can't have, but you still cherish their friendship -
it's bittersweet; because it's better than not being with them at all, but you still want something more
the in-between, when you can have this person in your life, but not as a lover. you're trying to find out if you can live with it or not.
fall back in love eventually - when you can finally get over this person and fall in love again
well that's what it means to me =]
As it withers
Brittle it shakes
Can you whisper
As it crumbles and breaks
As you shiver
Count up all your mistakes
Pair of forgivers
Let go before it's too late
I think this is about the ending friendship, or maybe when one person tells the other they love him/her
count up all your mistakes - the person loving the other knows they shouldn't, and maybe the other led them on a little bit.
Let go before its too late - before you ruin what you have
