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
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

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