i think this is by far the best song on 'futures'. its so full of emotion and personally, i get lost in the music and beautiful lyrics everytime i listen to it.
i sort of agree with the comments made by rbf737, but i also have my own opinion on this song. i feel that its about wanting someone so badly but not being able to tell them because they dont have the courage and they arent sure how the other person feels. for example...
"I felt for sure last night
At once we said goodbye
No one else will know these lonely dreams
No one else will know that part of me... "
the way i interpret this is that the person has truly realised their feelings for the other person one night, but in fear, has left in a hurry, not knowing what to do about their feelings. they state that no-one else will ever know their "lonely dreams", meaning they have no desire to tell the other person about their feelings because they dont think it will amount to anything.
"It was my turn to decide
I knew this was our time
No one else will have me like you do
No one else will have me, only you"
i think that this part is saying again, that the person is feeling very strongly towards the other... and that its up to him to decide what to do next, and if anything, they feels its "their time" because they are feeling it more than ever before. they say no-one else will have them, like the other does as they feel it is impossible for them to feel this way about anyone else, or for anyone else to have such a stong hold over them.
"Youll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
Im here and now Im ready
Holding on tight "
i think in this part, the person is giving a kind of a 'pep talk' to either themselves or the other person kind of saying 'hey, im going to be alone forever if i keep on waiting for a better oppurtunity, why not give it all ive got now?' the lines "Dont give away the end, The one thing that stays mine" has strong significance, as i think it is saying that the person fears owning up to their feelings because they are scared of the outcome, or "the end", and that they are content with it just being theirs in their own thoughts, as they would like it to be.]
and thats not all... :P
"I wont always love what Ill never have
I wont always live in my regrets"
they are the most meaningful lines in the WHOLE song to me! kind of saying the person wont always be stuck in this situation, and wont always regret not saying anything... one day... when they move on... maybe...
well, thats my opinion :P and what a long one at that! sorry if anyone disagrees with me... but that is how i see the song. i think i like it so much because i feel that i can relate to it at the moment... but anyways, thanks for your time, and ROCK ON jimmy eat world!! best band in the history of the world! peace out =)
