| "You're as welcome as cancer, but my door is always unlocked" To me this line is about being a sucker for punishment. You know taking the person back will only kill you in the end, but it doesn't matter. | |

| I agree with just some asian.......Although it might be about a good friend of his, who would flirt with him in private but in public she wouldnt show any emotion towords him, or maybe flirt with other guys or somthing like that, and no matter how much he hates it he is a sucker for this girl....< just an opinion i | |

| Definitely right...This song is amazing and has great sound and everything. This is one of my favorite songs even though I like every one. They were awesome at the Dec 17th concert with Yellowcard. Got both their cd's there...best 15 bucks spent EVER. | |

| "you're as welcome as cancer, but my door is always unlocked" i agree, i like that line too. it means that he cant stand to see her come back, but his door is always unlocked if she does want to. | |

| This song is freaking awesome. The acoustic is just as awesome. Matchbook Romance needs to get bigger, they are good enough to. | |
