Lyric discussion by beezybeast 

The line is "i wish we'd never met that MAN today"!

Its clearly saying she cheated on him and he wants to go back in time to before that happened,that would make things all good again right?

Every song on the album has an underlying theme of cheating, as his girl cheated on him before he wrote the album.

Heres an ironic point... In the second song on the album called "i feel better" he says "this the last song i write about you" Ironically there are 12 more songs after this one lol, i know this dont relate to this song i jus thought it was funny.

I think are right!

I thought I deciphered this sentence and when 'the penny dropped' I almost cried.

It might sound convoluted or maybe I'm trying to stretch it to what I want to see, but I thought it was a great concept.

and the time rewinds to the end of (me) i wish we'd never met that man today

This is what I hear, but it would only make sense if it was fastforward, but nonetheless - I like the concept so I'll push onward.

Wow i love that theory! I can totally hear it too but its just the scottish accent ha ha. It kills me that there new album does not live up to this one. Without the break up he really has nothing to say. Swim until you cant see land follows on exactly where floating in the forth leaves off. After floating down the river he is now in the sea and she is still trying to hurt him by "throwing stones at my back" in other words hurling insults. Thats really the best song on the album.
