I think it is about a relationship.
"on the corner of main street
just tryin' to keep it in line"
he just left her house
"you say you wanna move on and
you say I'm falling behind"
she just broke up with him, saying she wants to move on.
"I got the green light
I got a little fight
I'm gonna turn this thing around"
he wants to go back to her, and he is going to turn the relationship around, (and the car).
"The good old days,the honest man, the restless heart, the promised land
a subtle kiss, that no one sees"
he is thinking about the beginning of the relationship.
"before you go
can you read my mind"
he doesnt want it to end, and he wonders if she knew that.
"it's funny how you just break down
waitin' on some sign
I pull up to the front of your driveway
with magic soakin' my spine"
he was waiting for a sign before he went back to her place, as he pulls up he feels the urge inside him to go to her.
"Slippin in my faith until I fall
you never returned that call
woman, open the door
don't let it sting I wanna breathe that fire again"
he has faith in thier relationship but he contiues to make mistakes (slippin).
he comes to the door and doesn't want to feel the pain of being away from each other and he wants to 'breathe that fire again'-which can mean several things.
"She said I don't mind
if you don't mind cuz I don't shine
if you don't shine "
she takes him back, because she isn't happy if he isn't and they are not happy without one another.
but all that other stuff, i dont know...it is brandon flowers, his lyrics are open for interpretation. But this was my idea....
i think your right, this song relates to me so much right now. it's more of a adjustment than a break up.
almost play by play, even the "a subtle kiss, that no one sees" in that verse tells me they started as friends and it was a secret relationship back in the good old days at the start.
"you say you wanna move on and
you say I'm falling behind" to me, it's about her wanting to take it to the next level and bring it out into the open and connect more, but the guy is still playing along with the...
