Passed the road to your house
That you never called home
Where they turned out your lights
Though they say you'll never know
I remember running through the wet grass
Falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting
When they pumped out your guts
And filled you full of those pills
You were never quite right
Deserving all the chills
They say the worst is over
Kicked it over and ran
Then they ask what went wrong
When they turn you on again
They turn you on again
I remember running through the wet grass
Falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting
Kick them right in the face
Make them wish they weren't born
And if they bring up your name
Well they'll say you won the war
Baby burst in the world
Never given a chance
Then they ask what went wrong
When you never had it right
Well, you never had it right
Oh the letters have dropped off
Though they say you got them all
I finally figured out some things you'll never know
Take back your life
Let me inside
We'll find the door
If you care, if you care to anymore
I remember running through the wet grass
and falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting
That you never called home
Where they turned out your lights
Though they say you'll never know
I remember running through the wet grass
Falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting
When they pumped out your guts
And filled you full of those pills
You were never quite right
Deserving all the chills
They say the worst is over
Kicked it over and ran
Then they ask what went wrong
When they turn you on again
They turn you on again
I remember running through the wet grass
Falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting
Kick them right in the face
Make them wish they weren't born
And if they bring up your name
Well they'll say you won the war
Baby burst in the world
Never given a chance
Then they ask what went wrong
When you never had it right
Well, you never had it right
Oh the letters have dropped off
Though they say you got them all
I finally figured out some things you'll never know
Take back your life
Let me inside
We'll find the door
If you care, if you care to anymore
I remember running through the wet grass
and falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting

I believe this is about a teenage girl who was admitted to a mental hospital by a parent and this the song is all about how she was trapped in there and they refused to release her cause they said she was not right or ready to be released. The lyrics all make sense to me if you use that interpretation. This guy felt she was the love of his life and he even tried to rescue her (running through wet grass) but the escape failed & she was locked away again. (Oh, the letters have dropped off) that part of the song is about him trying to reach her via mail & the hospital claims she got them all but either they never gave them to her or she was so messed up on the pills they'd been pumping into her she wouldn't even be with it enough to reply back. Very sad song.
