So I Thought Lyrics Meaning

I think that this song is about a young lover's life with her mate. She loved him, "So in love with you, so I thought," and to me that sounds like her loved failed with him. But she still loves him, "Kiss the stars with me...a year goes by, and I can't talk about." It seems that during that year they were madly in love and it failed which is why she can't talk about, which explains the lines:
"I'm not faithless
Just paranoid of getting lost or that I might lose
Ignorance is bliss cherish it
Pretty neighborhoods
You learn too much to hold
Believe it not
And fight the tears
With pretty smiles and lies
About the times"
She is paranoid of being hurt again, she wishes that she had the ignorance of not knowing how hurtful love can be, like with the verse,
"We say to those who are in love
It can't be true 'cause we're too young
I know that's true because
so long I was
So in love with you
So I thought"
She thinks that the (young) people who think that they're in love are, infact, ingorant. She doesn't want them to have to feel the pain. She is sad that she is not ingnorant any more, she knows how painful young love can be. You can relate "ingnorance is bliss cherish it" to when adults say to enjoy your childhood, because she is no longer ignorant, she is knowlegdable. Like how when there are some things about the world that you honestly did not want to know. When you are a child, or ignorant, your life is always happy and careless. In "fight the tears with pretty smiles and lies" it's her trying to hide the sorrow that she has from that lover. "about the times" would be her saying how it was a great love, but the "times", being the time that they were in love, weren't quite as blissful, free happy and fairytale-like. She probably knew it was going down hill, and the whole time she was being hurt, like for example, with excuses, during this time together, but to look at the whole song, she still loves him.
"Ignorance is bliss cherish it
Pretty neighborhoods
You learn too much to hold
Believe it not
And fight the tears
With pretty smiles and lies
About the times"
So the next part of the song can only be decifered with the information already given. It seems that she and he are trying to see if they could ever been in love again, and make it work. She hopes to see "something there in betweeen." She really hopes that their love prevails.
"Choris Romance says goodnight
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Remember you, remember me
Hurt the first, the last, between
Choris Romance says goodnight
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Remember you, remember me
Hurt the first, the last, between"
She hopes to see something there in between. This would mean that she hopes that this "Silly love" (thats not the lyric:) is accually true love. She is so hopeful in this man that she's PRAYING that there's something there in between. That could be like when you kiss someone and you feel the "fireworks" which mean that it's true love, through and through. She wants to be so in love that she cannot imagine how much, because of just how huge of an amount of love, "That exceeds all we can dream." "so they can talk about" meaning that it is infact a happy time to them, that isn't painful to talk about it, which at the moment, she can't talk about it, because their past love was so painful, mosly because of how much she loved him.
"And I'm praying that we will see
Something there in between
Then and there that exceeds all we can dream
So we can talk about it
Just maybe, we might see
Something there in between
Then and there that exceeds all we can dream"
Okay, heres where all your questions are answered. But first, let's go back, back to the first verse. DON'T FREAK OUT! I couldn't tell you about it until you understood the rest of the song.
"All your twisted thoughts free flow
To everlasting memories
Show soul"
Okay, in this encounter (whether it is sex, kiss or etc, I can't be sure, though "goodnight," "Close your eyes" "Dim lighted room" all sugest sex, who knows? Well maybe Flyleaf does...), I believe that she is seeing into his soul. I say this because "all your twisted thoughts free flow", or free to see into by her. She realizes that their love is true, and genuine. Also, these thoughts are mentioned again,
"On my knees
Dim lighted room
Thoughts free flow try to consume
Myself in this"
Maybe these thoughts were beautiful, and confusing and overwhelming, which explains why it's comsuming her. You can relate this to when in Twilight, if your familar, Bella Swan can't really think straight when the sexy Edward Cullen kisses her. (Sorry, Twilight haters, but it's a good example.) You can relate her seeing the thoughts to, like in all of L.J. Smith's novels, when the exchange of blood happens,(Sorry, I'm the biggest Twilight fan, and a fan of other great novels, like L.J.Smith's work!) they both see into each other's soul. And apparently she like what she sees.
"And all these twisted thoughts I see
Jesus (or "Something") there in between
And all these twisted thoughts I see
Jesus (or "Something")there in between
And all these twisted thoughts I see
Jesus (or "Something")there in between"
So yay! Hurraa! There is something in between! They're truly in love, and even she can see that after all the hurt and painfull expirence she has been through!

Hope that my interpretation was clear, and helpful!
I tried to be as accurate as possible!!

BTW- I recently figured out that "Choris Romance" is a texan band. Flyleaf puts their own spin on that, so that you can decide what that means to you and then that's what it means. But this information could be wrong.

NOTE: Everything except the "BTW" is all MY work (exept for the lyrics, of course, that goes to the band). I came up with the interpretation, NO ONE else! I'm not a copier! Whoever has the same thing COPIED ME! THX for reading!
