So I always get nostalgic with that song
But in my room its forced
It has to be in some car across the street
And I always catch the back of your head in the crowd
Don't turn around its never you
And you ruin those memories
And those photos are great
If I catch them with the sun in my eye
But if I stare
Just turns into you and me
We're just standing there

And now its over
Would you hear me
Scream at the top of my lungs
And when you go there
Would you hear me
Scream at the top of my lungs

So I always fool my friends
And we head down there
They think that we are rude
We just drove by your old house
And you weren't there
And I'm always great
When I'm with your buds
And they lie
They think that I'm just fine
Its always been that way
Just a pocketbook brando

And when you hold him
Would you hear me
Scream at the top of my lungs
You love my whisper
But did you hear me
Scream at the top of my lungs

So you crank that song
And it might sound doomed
So just leave the room
While l sit and stare
Cause this is a rare
I really love that tune
Man I love that song
I really love that song
I love that song

So when you go
Would you hear me
Scream at the top of my lungs
And when your hated
Would you hear me
Scream at the top of my lungs

So you crank that song
And it might sound doomed
So just leave the room
While I sit and stare
Cause they that's rare
I really love that tune
Man I love that song
I love that song

    My Interpretation:beautiful song.

    I think it's about a song both Ian and his lover loved.

    He loved that song. And now whenever he hears 'that song' he gets nasty about it.

    She ruined 'that song' for him.

    "And when you're hated
    would you hear me scream at the top of my lungs"


    he remembers all of the times he loved that song with his girl


    but in the end, as much as he really 'loved that tune' he fuckin' hates it now. lol

    General Comment:This song became "That Song" for me. Reminds me of my ex....and how whenever i hung out with my friends, i fooled them just to pass by her place just to see if she was there.

    "And when you hold him" ...yeah...she cheated too.

    "You love my whisper"
    "And now it's over"
    Damn...

    General Comment:It's crazy, but "That Song" is really "That Song" to me! Over 10 years ago, I was in my first longterm college relationship with a guy & I was crazy about him. He loved this band, especially this song. Now, 10 years later, I'm a grown woman with a family, and though our relationship ended, whenever I play this song, I can't help by yearn for those good old days and wonder about him! Oh, memories!!!

    General Comment:Hee hee... Don't ever let this song become "that" song for you... cause then it hurts even more...

    It is a great song though... Great imagery with the "I'm just a Pocketbook Brando" line.

    General Comment:^ Exactly. This was the song that I think took me back the most after that first heartbreak. Now I don't miss the person anymore, but it still brings me back to this one certain day I had with them when this song was stuck in my head, and it reminds me of that day, and I get this weird hollow feeling, even though I've completely moved on... I hate the feeling, but it's like I need to listen to this song every once in a while to get that feeling, just because I don't want to push the memory completely out of my mind. Ugh.
