Roll the Credits Lyrics
let's move away for good,
let's pull the curtains down and leave.
it's between me and her now,
can't seperate at all,
let's put the cards back in the sleeve.
and i couldnt want it more
that way i always know shes close
she's like a big orchestra
playing my tiny tune
let's pull the curtains down and leave
The best song on Writer's Block, if you ask me.
I think this is about the end of the relationship. The point where you stop and say, "Okay, this is enough, we have to end things."
Seriously? Because I don't see that at all. For me it's more like, a couple doesn't want to put up with all the crap the rest of the world is giving them for one reason or another, and they want to leave and live happily ever after together. I can see where you say it's the end, from "let's take the easy way out" and "let's pull the curtains down and leave", but I see those lines more as a way to seperate themselves from the world. And "she's stepping on my shoes/and i couldn't want it more" is like he loves her little quirks and such.
But I totally agree that it's best song on the album.
Exactly. Although from the melancholy feel of this song I'd say that there is something hindering them from just up and running off. They love each other; she's stepping on his toes because she can't get close enough and he's ecstatic. But the RIGHT way out is typically the HARD way out so him saying 'let's take the EASY way out' might be him being hopelessly ideal; maybe even just for the sake of showing affection. Either way; hard, right, wrong, easy, they'll never separate completely...because they can't :)

i agree with ohlyndsey
I couldn't agree more with ohlyndsey. This is also my favorite on Writer's Block.
I agree with ohlyndsey too, but it's a vague song and open to interpretation. That's the thing about good songs - they can mean anything to anybody.
What I get from this (very sad) song, is a guy who has a girl who wants him much more than he wants her.
