The fourth song from their album “How We Operate”
It seems that the song is about convincing a friend to break it off with their significant other. The friend knows that the love has died in the relationship but is too fearful to let go (thus the chorus).
Oh no, why can't you get along?
Okay, I know its not my place
I've gotta say somethin'
I've gotta say somethin'
I've gotta speak
She'll never leave
And you can never throw her out
Impossible to conceive
You'd rather be with than without
That's just the fear talkin
That's just the fear talkin
That's just the fear
Don't let it take you
Like it nearly took me
Fear
Don't let it fool you
Like it nearly fooled me
Fear
Remember the good old days
Well love is like a dragonfly
So beautiful
It will die
And disappear before your eyes
I'm no philosopher
I am no poet
I'm just trying to help you out
Don't let it fool you
Like it nearly fooled me
Fear
Don't let it take you
Like it nearly took me
So you sit and wait
For another man to take your place
And when, when he comes
Would you welcome him with open arms
You'll feel a hundred years younger
You'll feel a hundred years younger
You'll feel no fear
Don't let it take you
Like it nearly took me
Fear
Don't let it fool you
Like it nearly fooled me
Fear
Don't let it kill you
Like it nearly killed me
Fear
