Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When eyes are red
We can't talk for a while
Without our sweet dumb things we say
you don't want me anyway
You don't want me anyway
so what
Why should i stay?
So goodbye to you and your life
Your new best friends
your confidence
And i'll be here when you get home
Sitting half way
Away from no where
praying for lips to touch
Holding myself
For a second
Just to catch you smile
On this side
So goodbye to you and your lies
(Two months, so many weeks)
Your new best friends
Your confidence
(turn my hours into days)
And i'll be here when you get home
(when you get home)
So goodbye to yuo and your lies
(two months so many weeks)
Your new best friends
Your confidence
(turn my hours into days)
And i'll be here when you get home
(When you get home)
(I can't feel the same without you any more)
It's just like you said
It would be
(separation)
I can't feel the same
I can't feel this way
I can't feel the same without you anymore
(separation) Without you anymore
(separation) Without you anymore
The lyrics to "Streetcar" by Funeral for a Friend tell a story of heartbreak and moving on from a toxic relationship. The singer recognizes that they can't talk to their former partner without saying foolish things, and that the other person doesn't want them around. They make the difficult choice to say goodbye, wishing their former partner well but acknowledging that they need to move on.
The singer is shown trying to move on by distancing themselves from the situation, sitting "half way away from nowhere" and "praying for lips to touch." They hold themselves back from reaching out to their former partner, hoping to catch a glimpse of a smile to remind them of what they used to have.
In the end, the singer realizes that they can't continue to hold onto the past or the lies their former partner told them, and they have to learn to live without them. Despite the pain and sadness they feel, they know they have to move on from the separation.
Overall, "Streetcar" is a poignant song about the pain of heartbreak and the importance of moving on from toxic relationships.

Hello
Opening remark to signify the start of the song
When eyes are red
When we've been crying and emotional
We can't talk for a while
Our conversations are strained and awkward
Without our sweet dumb things we say
We miss the silly and inconsequential things we used to say to each other
you don't want me anyway
You were never interested in me in the first place
You don't want me anyway
You were never interested in me in the first place
so what
I don't care anymore
Why should i stay?
There's no point in me sticking around
So goodbye to you and your life
I am saying goodbye to you and the life you lead
Your new best friends
I am acknowledging the fact that you have moved on and made new friends
your confidence
You have gained confidence and are living your best life without me
And i'll be here when you get home
I will still be here for you, even though you don't want me anymore
Sitting half way
I am halfway there, but still a long way from where I want to be
Away from no where
I feel lost and alone
praying for lips to touch
I am praying for a kiss from you
Holding myself
I am trying to keep myself together
For a second
Even if it is only for a moment
Just to catch you smile
I want to see you smile, even if it is just once
On this side
I am still on this side, longing for you
It's just like you said
You were right all along
It would be
You predicted that things would end this way
I can't feel the same
I can't go back to the way things were
I can't feel this way
I can't keep holding onto something that is not meant to be
I can't feel the same without you anymore
My feelings have changed since we parted ways
Without you anymore
Without you, my life is not the same
Without you anymore
Without you, my life is not the same

And there's the rub, we can talk for a while
But I have sweet nothings to say
You don't want me anyway, you don't want me anyway
So why, why should I stay?
So goodbye to you and your life
Your new best friends, your confidence
And I'll be here when you get home
Sitting halfway, away from nowhere
Praying for our lips to touch
Holding myself for a second
Just to catch you smile on this line
So goodbye to you and your life (two months, eight weeks)
Your new best friends, your confidence (turn my hours into days)
And I'll be here when you get home (when you get home)
So goodbye to you and your life (two months, eight weeks)
Your new best friends, your confidence (turn my hours into days)
And I'll be here when you get home, when you get home
[Voices:] I can't feel the same about you anymore [many times]
Is it just like you said it would be (it's never easy),
I can't feel this way about you anymore
Is it just like you said it would be (it's never easy),
I can't feel the same
I can't feel this way,
I can't feel the same about you anymore (it's never easy)
About you anymore (it's never easy)
No, I can't feel this way
I can't feel the same about you anymore (it's never easy)
About you anymore (it's never easy)
About you anymore

This song is timeless and will never die!!!!

I just installed Madden 06 and a flood of memories came back when this song came on, I had completely forgot about it and what it would mean while playing Madden 06. I haven't heard this in 10+ years when I still had my MP3 player! The song has some forgiveness in it, the line "I'll be here when you get home" would remind me of my team having a long plane ride home after having lost in the AFC champ game for the second year in a row.

Fuck yes Madden 06 had the best soundtrack.

Everything about this song is amazing. The guitar, drums, vocals, even the music video. Games used to have the best soundtracks.
