This song was written way back in 2005, but I had always wanted to re-do it. To me, it's about attempting to let go of someone you just can't entirely let go of. :P.
lyrics
And so it seems, we'll cut this clean.
We know the steps, we've walked these streets.
And all these things, we couldn't say.
Come back to haunt us everyday.
Well I'm still here. For you, my dear.
You hold me back, this much is clear.
(This much is clear)
Tear me apart, at the seams.
Sew up my eyes, just for old times.
Sever these ties that bind our lives.
So one last song, to what went right.
The wasted days, and fucked up nights.
You're always on my mind.
No need to breathe, I know I'm always right.
Love lets your words fill the air.
You're still here. Is this for real?
I can't see a thing, well this can't be.
It seems we're trapped in alive.
But still, your lips, they fit with mine.
