What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
You're everybody's second home
2
Always trying to get me alone
3
An easy way to lose it all
4
Always there when all else fails
5
Over by the west side rails
6
But I don't really need that now
7
I never really did anyhow
8
I only really needed alcohol
9
Something that'll treat me okay
10
And wouldn't say the things you'd say
11
Please turn out the light
12
I get a sick confusion headache trying to figure out who's right
13
Dreaming on the silver strand
14
Waking up to plainclothes man
15
You little bastard, little boy in blue
16
Someone's gonna get to you
17
And fuck up everything you do
18
He's so unhappy inside
19
He's serious with everyone
20
And he thinks he'll win you with his angry kiss
21
Acting like he has no needs
22
Wanting you to watch him bleed
23
Made for each other bet you pay me any mind
24
Just goes to show my continual decline
25
They say that I'll recover my love of her once in a while
26
But I don't know
27
I don't think so...
28
There's something that I'll tell you now
29
Now that no one else is around
30
The sort of lesson that I learned from you
31
Not quite the way you planned
32
But I know you'll understand
33
Someone takes a photograph
34
A picture while their sweetheart laughs
35
A perfect moment in a flash of light
36
Counting back from 3 to 1
37
That's exactly what you've done
38
And I'm so unsurprised
39
I remember, I remember why I dream in black & white
40
Goes to show my continual decline
41
They say that I'll recover my love of her once in a while
42
But I don't know
43
I don't think so
44
I don't think so...
