Wait, where you say you've been?
Who you been with?
Where you say you're goin'?
Who you goin' with?
Keep me on my toes,
Keep me in the know.
Wait, keep me in your skin,
Keep me in your chest.
I'll wait for it to start,
I'll wait for it to end.
Keep me on my toes,
Keep me in the know.
But when I looked at her,
I thought of only you.
If only there was proof I could use to show it's true.
We were young,
We were in our teens.
It wasn't real love,
Spent behind bars.
Oh it's sad to think,
We just let it be.
Prisoners of love.
It's so easy for it to be,
Something second guessed.
Easy to read,
Don't let it become,
A meaningless routine.
It's meaningless to me.
But when I looked at her,
I thought of only you.
If only there was proof I could use to show it's true.
Just crash, fall down,
I'll wrap my arms around you now.
Just crash, it's our time now,
To make this work second time around.
We grew up,
We worked and changed our ways.
Just like wildfire,
Been burning now for days.
Tearing down those walls,
Nothing's in our way.
I said, nothing's in our way.
And I know,
I've said this all before,
But opposites attract.
We try and run away,
But end up running back.
And all I want to do,
All I want to do,
Is lie down and...
Crash, fall down.
I'll wrap my arms around you now.
Just crash, it's our time now,
To make this work, second time around.
Oh crash, fall down.
Just crash, fall down.
Just crash, fall down.
Just crash, fall down.
Who you been with?
Where you say you're goin'?
Who you goin' with?
Keep me on my toes,
Keep me in the know.
Wait, keep me in your skin,
Keep me in your chest.
I'll wait for it to start,
I'll wait for it to end.
Keep me on my toes,
Keep me in the know.
But when I looked at her,
I thought of only you.
If only there was proof I could use to show it's true.
We were young,
We were in our teens.
It wasn't real love,
Spent behind bars.
Oh it's sad to think,
We just let it be.
Prisoners of love.
It's so easy for it to be,
Something second guessed.
Easy to read,
Don't let it become,
A meaningless routine.
It's meaningless to me.
But when I looked at her,
I thought of only you.
If only there was proof I could use to show it's true.
Just crash, fall down,
I'll wrap my arms around you now.
Just crash, it's our time now,
To make this work second time around.
We grew up,
We worked and changed our ways.
Just like wildfire,
Been burning now for days.
Tearing down those walls,
Nothing's in our way.
I said, nothing's in our way.
And I know,

And all I want to do,
All I want to do,

Crash, fall down.
I'll wrap my arms around you now.
Just crash, it's our time now,
To make this work, second time around.
Oh crash, fall down.
Just crash, fall down.
Just crash, fall down.
Just crash, fall down.

so i think this song was/is josh's way of telling her that even when he was with other girls she was always the one he really loved and how he felt they could make it work the second time they tried.
it's also a completley stunning song and amazingly moving to see performed live
This guy and I got extremely close. First partners in class then friends then best friends then lovers. Sadly, this was all when he had a girlfriend. Say what you want, I know it was wrong and I apologized to her in the end.
When I heard of this song I instantly thought of our strange relationship. How he would always get jealous (in a cute way) and ask me who was I with and such, but i couldn't really ask the same questions back. It was like he knew I could go out and hang out with anyone I wanted to because we weren't dating.
**That explains the first part of the song**
When Josh sings "But when I looked at her I thought of only you.."
This was something he'd say to me. The only reason he stayed with the other girl was because she was alone and he'd say how it wasn't out time to be together. To me he was all talk and no walk. I didn't want to believe him. He did everything he could to prove it to me.
Next part. We WERE in our teens we were suppose to be living it up, ya know YOLO and shit, but we sadly met each other and fell in love. At first we didn't realize what we were getting into..
The part where it says "We grew up..." We're getting there now, we;ve grown up we got a taste of life without each other..and it sucks.
This is my favorite part, because he would say "I don't see why you like me, I;m the exact opposite of you.." But then again I swear up and down he's the male version of me...
"And I know I've said this all before But opposites attract we try and run away but end up running back..."
So sorry for rambling. IN A NUTSHELL this song reminds me of a love triangle.
SO I LOVE THIS STANZA:
"And I know,
I've said this all before,
but opposites attract.
We try and run away,
but end up running back." So powerful in my opinion. He is basically saying I know I said we are meant for eachother but it is indeed true. That even though they've tried leaving it behind they come back to it. And then in come the Crash portion of the song. Basically I feel this is a song about true love. They met in their teens, it didn't work out so well due to whatever reasons, and now later on in life they are given a second chance and he is saying let's just do this and to not hesistate.
BTW love the refrence to "Always Atrract" because I loved that song and it's cute he mentioned it. It's like paying tribute to their first album:]
I, however, think its about never letting go of that first love. When they were younger they didn't know it was real love but as they grew up and compared it to other, they realised it was. How all he saw was her in every girl he got with.
But now they have a second chance with each other knowing what they now know about love, knowing they were in fact in love. Maybe to begin with he didn't trust her or was just insecure about the feelings he had when they were 'in their teens'.
'We Try To Run Away, But End Up Coming Back' <<< My favourite line in the song. Maybe they have always felt drawn back to each other despite being opposites in personality? Never being able to let each other go, seeing this girl in everyone he sees or tries to love.
Just a few ideas but i truly love this song so much.
Just like wildfire, been burning now for days <3
its such an amazing song, its like having a second chance with your first love :)
Wait, where you said you've been?
Who you been with?
Where you say you're goin'?
Who you goin' with?
- Maybe he's becoming aware of her leaving and going somewhere and he's questioning her about it.
Keep me on my toes,
Keep me on the know.
- Maybe he wants to know where she is, who she's with and who she's been with. (becoming paranoid).
But when I looked of her,
I only thought of you,
If only there was proof that I could show it's true.
- They split up earlier because there was no love, now he's with another girl and when he sees her, he can only think of the girl he had earlier.
We were young,
We were in our teens,
It wasn't real love,
Spent behind bars,
Oh it's sad to think,
We just let it be,
Prisoners of love.
- He's saying they were too young to know what love was and they didn't have love. That their relationship was them being prisoners and held behind bars.
( I don't know, that was just my thoughts. Thanks for reading. :} )
