What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Run your fingers through your hair
2
Let's pick up from where we left off
3
Call all your friends, announce the new victory
4
Once you were sweet to me, knock it off
5
The music doesn't move you, doesn't soothe you
6
Doesn't prove you're worth a dime
7
You work 'round the clock, watch it tick and tock
8
But this isn't your time
9
Move over son, it's my turn to shine
10
Was there ever a moment
11
One small slice in history
12
When I took you seriously?
13
When your belt and your shoes
14
Did not announce your poor taste so fearlessly?
15
'Cause that's news to me
16
And you can forget it, I get it
17
I just don't let it get to me
18
I regret to inform I do not fret or mourn
19
The way things used to be
20
It's all in the past now, it's all gone
21
And the only way into the sun is walking
22
But you'd rather run
23
You'd rather run away
24
The songs he writes are for "dad"
25
The true love lost 'fore he ever had
26
If stories begun "If father loved son"
27
We wouldn't be feelin' so bad
28
But doesn't everyone?
29
And it's not that I hate you
30
I never loved you enough to hate you
31
To get even or mad so as not to seem sad
32
Just seems ungrateful
33
'Cause really, I am thankful I'm sad
34
Maybe we're the same unabashed and unashamed
35
Then again, I dunno where you came from
36
You keep carvin' out names
37
First Jamie then James
38
And I can't keep up to restrain you
39
How come?
40
We two came together for worst and for better
41
It's true
42
And the weather is clever
43
But she's not the only one getting over you
44
It's me, too
45
And the only way into the sun is walking
46
But you'd rather run
47
You'd rather run away
48
My god, it's no fun to watch you play dumb
49
With your ugly hand on her thigh
50
And she's nervous too, but politeness eschews
51
The impulse to finger deny
52
Plus, your girlfriend's a spy
53
And what would she think to look up from her drink
54
And find you in your sad little vest tryin' hard to undress
55
The girls you sat down next to?
56
She'll think nothing
57
She'll be thinking of you
58
I'm glad I don't know the places you go
59
I'm glad for you and for them
60
Let's be discreet if we are to meet on Ludlow ever again
61
Don't mention Ben
62
It's funny what you miss, it's funny what you don't
63
I've thought it all through, the potential to fondly reminisce is this:
64
I won't
65
And the only way into the sun is walking
66
But you'd rather run
67
You'd rather run away
68
Don't say we got along
69
That's remarkably wrong
70
It doesn't suggest or imply
71
The thing about us you don't dare discuss
72
We never got along famously, we just tried
73
I tried to be good, I tried to be gracious and kind
74
But working with you has done nothing but prove a total waste of time
75
'Cause the real curse is your mind
76
Sometimes at night I stare at the ceiling
77
And wonder what's wrong with me
78
To involve myself with people
79
Who don't know what my true feeling might possibly be
80
Who latch onto my strength like it's all they've got
81
It takes all of my strengths
82
And I go through such lengths
83
To show them it is not what they think they are stealing
84
And the only way into the sun is walking
85
But you'd rather run
86
You'd rather run away
87
Yes, the only way into the sun is walking
88
But you'd rather run
89
You'd rather run away
