So, guess I got old
I was like trash on the sidewalk
I guess I knew why
Often it's hard to just sweet talk

I was unused to you then
Old news, a noose to you then

You, you were like glue
Holding each of us together
I slept through July
While you made lines in the heather

I was unused to you then
Old news, a noose to you then

Fell for the ruse with you then
Old news, old news to you then

And I still see you when I try to sleep
I see the garden, the tower, the street
Call out to nobody, call out to me
Chip on the shoulder, the diamond, the teeth

Now I can see how
We were like dust on the window
Not much, not a lot
Everything stolen or borrowed

I was unused to you then
Old news, a noose to you then

    Translation:Doesn't anyone else think that the lyrics are:

    "I was unused to you then, old news, a noose to you then."

    General Comment:1st verse: Guy realizes that he's the one who was the boring one in the relationship.
    2nd verse: He's living the life, just sleeping and thinking everything is OK in his failing relationship. Meanwhile, she's off doing her own thing and growing apart from him.
    3rd verse: He's upset and angry when he realizes that this girl was growing apart from him the whole time he thought nothing was wrong.
    4th verse:He finally understands that their relationship wasn't really a true relationship. They weren't as attached as he thought and they were really just living the cliches of other relationships.
