maskitheclownAllow me to exaggerate a memory or two
Where summers lasted longer than we do.
Where nothing really mattered except for me to be with you.
But in time we all forgot and we all grew.
Your melody sounds as sweet as the first time it was sung
with a little bit more character for show
and by the time your father's heard of all the wrong you've done,
I'm putting out the lantern find your own way back home.
If I'd forgotten how to sing before I've sung this song,
I'll write it all across the wall before my job is done.
And I'll even have the courtesy of admitting I was wrong.
As the final words before I'm dead and gone.
You've never been so divine in accepting your defeat,
and I've never been more scared to be alone.
If love is not enough to put my enemies to sleep,
then I'm putting out the lantern find your own way back home

I'm reading around now and apparently this song is about romance or something. Bummer. I thought it was about Brendon's problem with his parents, mostly cause of "Your melody sounds as sweet as the first time it was sung with a little bit more character for show" cause, he always sang, but now he was doing it in a way that was wrong.
... Other than that...
"Allow me to exaggerate a memory or two

He talked about how being a child there was amazing, because it was all about family and togetherness. But then people grow up and need more.
"If I'd forgotten how to sing before I've sung this song, (...) I'll even have the courtesy of admitting I was wrong as the final words before I'm dead and gone." Like, if he got punished for what he was doing, he would admit he was wrong in doing this, eventually, not that nobody would notice.
"You've never been so divine in accepting your defeat, and I've never been more scared to be alone." 'Cause he said their break ATT was mutually agreed upon, so they wouldn't fight even more, and they still loved each other but couldn't live together.
"and by the time your father's heard of all the wrong you've done, I'm putting out the lantern find your own way back home." &
"If love is not enough to put my enemies to sleep, then I'm putting out the lantern find your own way back home" This part (both times) I figured was his mother's POV, as in, "you're going down the wrong path and I can't save you so you're on your own now".
And I assumed Ryan (everyone) knew and they decided to pass it off as a light song so Brendon wouldn't have to deal with the shit publicly.
But now I'm reading everywhere how it's about a summer romance that ended and bla... and I just don't see it. I see the ending, sure, but where's the romance? *sigh* I so very much know I'm overthinking this, but I can't just change my mind now. :/
