You and I
Share the same reflection
Why don't
You see
That we cannot
Survive in this condition
If you're cut
I'll bleed
So go on
Carve into
Your own heart
I could use
A new scar
Or a brand new start
Slowly
Severing
The only
Memories
That bind us
As one
I just don't know
How to win (how to win)
With you
And I can't let go
Part of me (part of me)
Is you
We have lost
All communication
When words fall
On deaf ears
I'm starting to
Feel a transformation
How did I get here
I don't
Recognize
My own reflection
It's a ghost of
What once was
Gone from
Relative
To stranger
Separating
Body
From mind
I just don't know
How to win (how to win)
With you
I can't let go
Part of me (part of me)
Is you
You stay the same
I'll remain to change
I just don't know (just don't know)
How to win (how to win)
With you
And I can't let go (can't let go)
Part of me (part of me)
Is you
This is an excellent song. I know the band and know Jesse typically writes in abstract. He encourages the listener to find their own intimate meaning of the song.
This song seems pretty obvious. I would say he is writing about a struggling marraige. (Share the same reflection, bind us as one, relative to stranger).
