what is the true meaning of this song, to rember the feelings and moments you had with her
or to remember the pain that came with those thaughts
And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new

I guess its about throwing those memorys away for the greater good of the person that wants to leave the friendship.and accepting it[img]smileys/smiley19.gif[/img]
you couldnt take your eyes off of her, but now you cant stand to look at her without feeling all those pins and needles in one moment. so you walk on.becouse you know shes in denial for the love you share. shes that girl you held on too but right as you swirled in loves game cut you from her world entirely and sailed back to the comfort and probable seas of the man that rules her past. and leaves you in hellishwonderment, bound to die without her. then this song leads into the wonderful song of the professor.well i dont know if im wrong cuz shes only just gone heres to another relationship, the drunken stage of love.
she becky wrecked me and my music will rebuild me.

Perhaps the title of the thread should be:</font> I refuse to accept dumping.

your feeling about the song is just yours. i'm sorry you feel this way, mostly negative.



everyone is his/her own winner and loser.

i think its just about obsessing. he is actually the pupil in denial. denial its over? ive always been very similar in relationships....refuse to accept its over, cant stop thinking of her and then...bang...i find somebody new.

about 'o':


“I can’t say that it’s all about the one person but there has been a strong figure behind a lot of the stuff. Not all the songs would be directly about her though…but yea, there’s definitely been a person in some of my songs”.
Based around your relationship with her?
“Or lack of, to be more accurate! It’s just somebody I was obsessed with for years”

yes. obsession. this is why the song is all too appropriate for the movie "Closer".. if you've seen it, the story is about being obsessed with someone you're not even meant to be with. we've all experienced it. sometimes you just can't do anything about it.

he actually told the story. basically, he had a major crush on his flute teacher's daughter, but he never did anything about it. and later when he wrote the song and tried to record it, he couldn't get it quite right, so he invited the blower's daughter to his house and played the song for her. and that's the actual version that's on the album.


there have been a few threads about this:
