| I agree with not_blonde. Actually, this song reminds me of a friend who just can't own up to her mistakes. It confuses me though, the lyrics. "Don't blame yourself. It was everyone around you who made you act this way." I can't tell if that's sarcasm (the point of view of the person he's singing about) or truth. I'd go with sarcasm though. They can't accept that it's their own fault, whatever bad is happening. It seems like he's saying this is their chance to either own up, or forget it. | |

| I think it's definitely about someone going to jail or death row. It's from the point of view of a someone who's watched their friend toil their life away going to jail until they've done something so terrible that they are being sentenced to death. I don't have much prove to back this up other than the lyrics: "You can exit out the back and make your getaway before anyone can see the damage you have done." "State your case. You've got everyone's attention. What can you say? Thanks or forget what you've been given." "Oh I get lost in the thought of losing you." I just think it all adds up really well.. does it not? | |

| so ive been listening to Mae a lot lately and just discovered them a couple of weeks ago. Dont even ask me where the hell ive been! haha But there music is some of the best ive heard lately. after hearing this one....im blown away "Don't fake yourself into ever, ever thinking about yesterday. That was then, this is now. Don't call it undone. Don't take what you've been dealt. You can exit out the back and make your getaway before anyone can see the damage you have done." | |

| What i got out of this song is that somebody made mistakes in the past and they have lots of regret and its holding them back from living the rest of their lives and the song was saying that you can't live in the past regretting what you've done and this is your chance to move on. nonetheless, its an awesome song. | |

| Save yourself. Because the only thing that matters is that you get away from the pain and the thought of losing your mind. Don't blame yourself. It was everyone around you who made you act this way. There's the stage and your chance to watch it go down. great song great band great ..uh everything | |

| It's completely sattirical to human nature. S/he's blaming everyone else for their mistakes, and they're saying that s/he can just leave before anyone else notices, even though everyone but the person in mention knows all about what's really going down. He has the attention he wants, so here's his chance to make the big scene in front of everyone that he's been making behind the scenes all along. No one is gonna take it anymore, this time is the last time. They WANT to lose him, and no one knows why he's there in the first place. | |

No seriously...the remix is great and the acoustic guitar is a wonderful feature on the new song. | |

| This song is not about living life because you can only do it once. It's actually all about it being the last time that you have to deal with an anoying person. This is what it means to the band (I heard it from Dave). To me, it means something different. It's about moving foward, and forgiving people because if they truely are your friend, it's the last time that they will mess up and hurt you. | |

| In a way it could be about someone who struggles mentally "don't blame yourself it was everyone around who made you act this way." I have an aunt who has mental disabilities and she doesnt own up to the mistakes she's made she blames everyone else. But then the song seems to move on to telling someone not to worry about their past. I really love this song it just sounds so incredilbly awesome. | |
