Love

It's a weird one. If he reads something into those lyrics, and thinks theres a solid message in there then it's way over my head. I think it would maybe make a little more sense if you had a boyfriend, but you're single now arent you? So i cant even see it that way.

I feel as if it means:

I think we should be together, but everything that happens is keeping us apart.

I'm obviously taking it in a more dramatic way, but that's how I read it.

"I'd be so lucky if things happened differently. Causes and effects aren't always the way you want them to be. She looks for patterns, something regular, repetitive, but the world doesn't always turn out that way."

Maybe I'm reading into it too much, but that's what I got.
I could write more, but let me know if this makes sense/seems to be going in the write direction.

Yeah, exactly.
Right before that line, it's basically saying that she wants to meet the one for her but she wants to kind of "go with the flow."

Yep, I think those lines you point out are the crucial ones in the song. I think they say that she wants to just sort of fall into love but at the same time make decisions about whom to love, so perhaps she is a little caught and isn't taking many steps to make that connection (with the singer):

"She wants to meet her fate, but travel by free will.
But you can't have both and you can't stand still, still, still."

Only once.Most amazing thing ever. I'm over it now though 'cause I'm too old for that kinda feeling...i think anyway. Now it's not quite the same.

there really is no questioning of it. it takes enough faith and mutual respect. my girlfriend and I are 7 months since we started dating, and no argument has been involved. trust them as they trust you, or there's no strength. remember, statistics and all the other bs cannot tell you anything, real proof is necessary, with all the "self-help books" and "guides" out there. your faith and willingness to change to further everyone's ends.

Wow, VEGANGELICA and AwwSugar, thanks!

I was thinking along the same lines, and took the first part of it as rather suggestive. But I'm too afraid to approach him about it because it would be really embarrassing if I got it wrong and he was just randomly posting lyrics to me...

He wasn't just randomly posting them, because he told you "that's you."
But I can see why that would still be a bit embarrassing, I'm the same way.
Say something like, "So I listened to the song."
And see what he says back.

I've only just begun to fully understand love. I feel like I'm late to the game sometimes.

I just think it's funny that I wrote that huge ass paragraph when I didn't even love that ****.
I went back into our relationship being in love with someone else

lmao whoops
