I didn't want to be the one to forget
I thought of everything I'd never regret
Let's run with it because it's all we can take
One thing I'd never see, the same way around
I don't believe it and it slips from the ground
I want to take you to that place near the rush
But no one gives us any time anymore
He ask me once if I'd look in on his dog
You made an offer for it, then you ran off
I got this picture of us kissin' in my head
And all I hear is the last thing that you said
I listen to your problems now listen to mine
I didn't want to anymore

And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen everyday
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Kinda given up on giving away
Now I thought about what I wanna say
But I never really know where to go
So I chained myself to a friend
'Cause there's nowhere else I could go

And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen everyday
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Kinda given up on giving away
Now I thought about what I wanna say
But I never really know where to go
So I chained myself to a friend

Some more again

It didn't matter what they wanted to see
You thought he saw someone that looked just like me
I saw my memory that just never dies
We worked too long and hard to give it no time
He sees right through me, it's so easy with lies
Cracks in the road that I would try and disguise
He runs the scissors at the seam in the wall
He cannot break it down or else he would fall
One thousand lonely stars
Hiding in the cold
Take it, oh I don't wanna sing anymore

I listen to your problems now listen to mine
I didn't want to anymore

And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen everyday
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Kinda given up on giving away
Now I thought about what I wanna say
But I never really know where to go
So I chained myself to a friend
'Cause there's nowhere else I could go

And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen everyday
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Kinda given up on giving away
Now I thought about what I wanna say
But I never really know where to go
So I chained myself to a friend
'Cause there's nowhere else I could go

I don't wanna start, don't get upset
I'm not with you
It's all I do when I'm with you

And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen everyday
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Kinda given up on giving away
Now I thought about what I wanna say
But I never really know where to go
So I chained myself to a friend
'Cause there's nowhere else I could go

And we will never be alone again
'Cause it doesn't happen everyday
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Kinda given up on giving away
Now I thought about what I wanna say
But I never really know where to go
So I chained myself to a friend
'Cause there's nowhere else I could go

My Interpretation
I'm pretty sure I figured it out.

"It didn't matter what they wanted to see. He thought he saw someone that looked just like me. That summer memory that just never dies. We worked too long and hard to give it no time."

"It didnt matter what they wanted to see [I will love her regardless.]" "He thought he saw someone that lookED just like me" means his friend thought that he was still innocent, like when he was a kid. The "summer memory that just never dies" is when he was innocent. "We worked too long and hard to [let this friendship die]"

"He sees right through me it's so easy with lies. Cracks in the road that I would try and disguise. He runs his scissors at the seem in the wall. He cannot break it down or else he would fall. One thousand lonely stars hiding in the cold. Take it, I don't wanna sing anymore."

"He sees [that narrator loves his gf/wife.]" "He runs his scissors at the seem in the wall" means he's being risky in his approach, he might lose their friendship. "He cannot break it down or else he would fall" means he can't end things. He can't call him out because their friendship would end/he needs this friend. "One thousand lonely stars hiding in the cold" means everyone is aware of the situation but nobody is making any moves. Everyone has lost attraction and they're all lonely in the cold. "Take it, I don't wanna sing anymore" means that he wants his friend to have the girl. He's done with this mess, he gives up, he can have her.

The last unique lyrics: "I don't understand, don't get upset. I'm not with you. We're swimming around. It's all I do when I'm with you." She's upset with his decision. He says, I'm not your man. We're treading water, but going nowhere.

I think this is the end because of the story because of the music break. The music grows, it peaks, it reaches a plateau, then spikes again at the end. I think that's indicative of the story. It reaches this peak, he resolves it, but it's not a perfect resolution because she's hurt with the result. "Can I give it up or give it away?" in the end he does give it up. He gives it away to his friend.
