A freight train to the right, feeling that sting of pride
It's fucking with me, it's fucking with you
All's fair in love and war until you say it isn't but you're wrong
Words on the back of flyers, my clothes are in the dryer
It means nothing, nothing is changing
La familia is dead and gone, the children grew up and moved on
Is it too much to ask for the things to work out this time?
I'm only asking for what is mine
I wanted everything, I got it and now I'm gonna
Throw it away, I'll throw it away (yeah)
Prime select and a box of glazed, pulling fly-bys on days
When we were young and innocent
Elbow-drop Sundays when Mark Eaton got beat to shit
Laughing at the bands we hate, all the spots we used to skate
They're still there, but we've gone our own ways
I know it's for the best but sometimes I wonder
Will I ever have friends like you again?
Is it too much to ask for the things to work out this time?
I'm only asking for what is mine

Is it too much to ask for the things to work out this time?
I'm only asking for what is mine
I wanted everything, I got it and now I'm gonna
Throw it away, I'll throw it away (yeah)
You're gonna drown in the mess you make
Your self-inflicted hate
You turn your back on the friends you lose
When they don't follow all your rules
But people are what they wanna be
They're not lemmings to the sea
Maybe it's time you looked at yourself
And stop blaming life on someone else
It's fucking with me, it's fucking with you
All's fair in love and war until you say it isn't but you're wrong
Words on the back of flyers, my clothes are in the dryer
It means nothing, nothing is changing
La familia is dead and gone, the children grew up and moved on

Seems like a good analysis, and having "I'm sorry" as toms goodbye also? "And there's no harm
At least nothing I can see
As for you, not so true
You couldn't choose where his road would lead"
idk, just a thought
As a graffiti artist myself I always think of it when listening to that lyric...it's all I can come up w/.
Truthfully the whole song is amazing and has affected me deeply. The lyrics are very real, not radio material of today. Something that if you got into it @ an early age, which I did, may affect you for a lifetime positively.
So fucking true.
The line "Feeling that sting of pride. It's fucking with me, it's fucking with you."
That is a reference to Pulp Fiction I reckon because in PF there is a line, "You feel that sting big boy, huh. That's pride fucking with you. You gotta fight through that shit!" And because in the thank yous for Cheshire Cat they acknowledge Pulp Fiction.
They're still there, but we've gone our own ways
I know it's for the best but sometimes I wonder
Will I ever have friends like you again?"
------------------
that verse is so good
this song is just all about growing up and losing your friends.
Will I ever have friends like you again?' always hits home!!! this is a song about saying goodbye to your childhood, which is something everyone has to go through.
I love blink cos everyone of their songs has a meaning that I can relate to, and im sure everyone feels the same
