AFI - This time imperfect At the beginning of the song is a poem, http://www.plyrics.com/lyrics/afi/thistimeimperfect.html I really like this poem a lot, i'm not sure what exactly this means though anyone have an idea? ''I kissed you at the apex of the maelstrom and asked if you would accompany me in a quick fall, but you made me realize that my ticket wasn't good for two.''
The speaker's in love, the tension builds and when he finally grows a pair and kisses the girl she rejects him or at least there's nothing there and he realizes that she's not the one and she felt none of the excitement of the ride.
