    Hell, I'm guessing, but...it feels appropriate to the point in a ended relationship we're it's all over, we've been over it and talked it through too many times, but we're still doing that endless conversation about why it didn't work. And "I don't wanna know your plans, but together share the dawn," is referring to the age-old mistake of regretful after-the-breakup sex. Come on, baby, for old time's sake.

    Then she gets pregnant. Okay, I made that part up.

    Go on, prove me wrong...

    The lyrics inside my cd say, "I don't want to know your past, but together share the dawn."

    I think it is: "I don't want to know your past, but together share the dawn."

    My interpretation is that she's still haunted by past mistakes, regrets, etc. He's telling her he doesn't need to know where's she's been, or what she's done, because regardless, he wants to share a future with her.

    Is it a one line song? What are the full lyrics? Could someone just post them.

    Why deny
    All the troubles when combined
    With the missing links
    It don't feel like
    Home now,...

    That you're gone
    All the troubles
    suddenly explained infinitum
    You're always wishing and
    Never here at
    Home

    You
    All the dreams we shared and
    Lights we turned on
    But the house is getting dark

    And I don't want to know your past
    But together share the dawn
    And I won't need

    Nothing else
    Cause when we're dead
    We would've had it all

    And died
    I would've fallen from the sky
    Til you
    Parachutes have opened now

    Heaven knows if there's a ceiling
    come so low with the kneeling
    Please know that
    I got

    All the friends I'm needing
    Before my light goes out
    As the doors are closing now

    And far away will be my home
    And to grasp this, I don't know
    And I don't need

    Further back and forth, a wave will break on me today
    And love,... Wish the world could go again with love
    One cant seem to have enough
    And war,.... Break the sky and tell me what it's for
    I'll travel there on my own
    And love,.... What a different life
    Had I not found this love with you

    This song kindof flips back and forth to me between wanting to be with the person, and yet, the protagonist has friends to lean on in time of trouble that can be relied on which do not include the addressed person. The tone kindof sets it up for a love song, but maybe it's more ironic, because it's kindof a quirky song for a love song, eh? Has elements of a one-night stand in it just from the referenced line in all the previous posts. Actually, it can be pretty straight forward that this is person in front of the protagonist is only needed for sex. Particularly with
    "Heaven knows if there's a ceiling
    come so low with the kneeling" It's as if the human characteristics that play into this scene are primative as opposed to spiritual.

    You know what we haven't considered? That this is from the woman's perspective? Usually I think this song is from a man's perspective, but it made more sense when from the woman's perspective. What do you think?

    I agree with comeback girl on the interpretation. I think he doesn't care about her past but she can't get past it.

    never crossed my mind
    song seems to lack any real reference as to gender roles though

    i think its about getting over the past

    a new beginning
    Had my eyes peeled both wide open, and I got a glimpse
    Of my innocence... got back my inner sense...

    It seems a bit complicated, like the pair are going back and forth to get their relationship organized, but overall it's a love song.

    Just based on the lines quoted above...not wanting to worry about the other's past but wanting to get started on their future.

    Now, if we were just to focus on that one line as it if was etched in space . . . Shakespeare would be proud! Talk about the same type of carpe diem attitude Shakespeare uses in many of his sonnets.
