About the song
I tried starting a band with a girl I met in my art class. She was seeing some loser who treated her like shit. He happened to be the lead guitarist of our shortlived band. After observing their relationship, I concluded that it wouldn't last very long because the "honeymoon" phase of their relationship had ended and it was becoming Stale.
Lyrics
Whatever happened to the way we felt before
It seems that alls forgiven but there's still the stench of remorse
There's no one left to blame for this sad old game we play
We walk in our own shadows, where we end up know one knows.

Chorus
Still are we like stale old bread
We need some air, we need some air
Let's leave this place with no regrets
If we dare, oh if we dare

You looked upon me with distortion in your smile
And I can tell quite frankly that it isn't quite your style
I'm lost here in the clouds with no hope of coming down
I'm stuck here in the crowds, so I've got to leave this town

Chorus

Bridge
Maybe we'll meet again someday
I'll find you in my own special way
Until then I bid farewell
In our memories we shall dwell
For now, I say GOODBYE

Chorus
