I always saw it as two people who have feelings for each other but it’s just not quite right and they’re trying to force it. I mean, maybe he’s interpreting it differently. Sorry for venting here, I was hoping someone could help me understand. (I don’t want to bring up my feelings because we already talked about it and we promised to put the past in the past.) He misses his ex again? This time around he said that he would never talk to her again and that she’s a terrible person. What do you think this song means to him in this context. Then he went on to say “this song is so beautiful, like it should be in a romantic comedy” I was visibly hurting and he asked what’s wrong and I said nothing I’m okay and smiled. I did remember when he played it for me last year. Because the lyrics say “write my name someplace safe” I did know the song. He asked me “you know this song right?” And I said nopeeee and he said “I played it for you before” then went on closing shop. Everything is great but he played closer again last night at his job when he was closing up and I was waiting for him. I cried and he played the song closer and held me. I asked him to do it again and that’s how I learned her (his ex) name. He asked me to be his gf less than a week after telling me he wasn’t ready because he was confused about his feelings for his ex. r/JimmyEatWorld Wiki Jimmy Eat World AMA (2013) Jim Adkins Solo Website Jim Adkins Solo Facebook Jim Adkins Solo Twitter Wet Lab Facebook Zach Lind Twitter Official Website Facebook Twitter Instagram Jimmy Eat World is an alternative rock band from Mesa, Arizona formed in 1993 featuring the members Jim Adkins, Zach Lind, Tom Linton and Rick Burch.
