What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Fifteen years from tonight you have to make a desicion
2
The greatest love of your life
3
Is gonna call during dinner...
4
From the home of the girl that he's living with now
5
And the guilt he'll say is killing him
6
He's wilted in the middle and
7
He knows how bad he acted
8
Knows he can't have you back
9
But the fact is he can't be happy when you're angry
10
And you're so angry, he says you stayed so mad
11
And he heard it on the street that
12
You moved back in with your dad
13
You were drinking something awful
14
And that makes him sad
15
Then he says it's good to hear your voice again
16
And that it's hard to ask it,
17
But he's calling with a question
18
He's been working real hard, he's trying to make a new start
19
An honest to god fresh beginning
20
So maybe you could try to finally find it in your heart
21
To forgive him
22
You've already been here before
23
You already know where it goes
24
You chose this, you know it's suppose to be over
25
You've been here before
26
You already know where it goes
27
You chose this, you know it's suppose to be over
28
He hung up the phone, you listened to the dial tone
29
And you stared at the stove until the beeping started
30
You read some love letters some threats
31
And some you couldn't tell apart
32
That you keep under the bed at the apartment
33
And then you did what he asked you to do
34
You opened your heart up
35
Right there on a napkin on the carpet
36
And part of it was frostbit
37
But you've always been a smart kid
38
Could still distinguish, the blood black as pitch
39
Valves had gone stiff, veins and scar tissue
40
Four chambers just a standard issue
41
But none had room, forgiveness is huge
42
And you had two full of ice water
43
One fulla salt, one packed with coal
44
Eager and ready and willing to find fault
45
You've already been here before
46
You already know where it goes
47
You chose this, you know it's suppose to be over
48
You've been here before
49
You already know where it goes
50
You chose this, you know it's suppose to be over
51
Then with your heart in your lap
52
And your head in your hands, suddenly you had a plan
53
Wrap the mess in newspaper
54
Headed west on Hennepin,
55
Heavy with a huge favor for a kid that just turned ten
56
A flat-chested, gap-toothed girl
57
Was the best that I've been so far
58
And now I'm too big to forgive him
59
I need just a moment with me,
60
A moment when I was still little
61
I used to sing on the roof outside my windowsill
62
And I came hoping some ghost of me would be here still
63
And here you are, stick figure and a busted grin
64
Still ignorant of all the trouble I'ma get us in
65
Hoping we could trade, just for tonight
66
Like I could borrow your heart
67
And I could leave you mine
68
It's not much for collateral, tattered and battle-scared
69
But I can promise you solemn
70
That I will be back for it tomorrow
71
I only need yours this evening
72
So I can call an old friend
73
And I can tell him
74
That we're finally even,
75
That we're finally even
76
You chose this, you know it's suppose to be over
77
I've been here before
78
And I already know where it goes
79
You chose this, you know it's suppose to be over
