    Lyrics: "Flying Model Rockets"
    Flying model rockets own the sky in the backyard next to mine
    I get these strange phone calls at night with no one on the other side
    My brother's friend explains to me with breathless words and bloody knees
    It's a black eyed trust, respect with pain.
    A love I'll learn when I've been through the same.
    But there's nothing in California that you could not learn to hate here
    The questions will all still be waiting for you, the answers will only be less clear
    It's hard to say what I would do if I was back a year or two
    Look at our plans, try to understand what could have happened to all of them.
    Flying model rockets own the sky in the backyard next to mine
    I get these strange phone calls at night with no one on the other side
    My brother's friend explains to me with breathless words and bloody knees
    It's a black eyed trust, respect with pain.
    A love I'll learn when I've been through the same.

    I've been trying to figure out what this song means for a while now
    It starts out as kids in their home neighborhood, doing something innocent like flying model planes. His brother's (seemingly older) friend tells him that it's okay for love to hurt and he just doesn't understand yet. It sounds like this friend is being abused by someone they love. The singer grows up and learns that the world is a lot more complicated and painful than flying model planes. Someone else tries to escape their dysfunctional upbringing by moving to out west, but the singer is jaded and thinks their problems will just follow them to California because it's not something wrong with the east coast but with the person. But he can't provide a better solution and wonders if he could have stopped things from turning out so badly or if that's just how life is.
    I'm not sure about the phone call, but I think it might represent the brother's friend or someone like them trying to reach out for help because part of them knows love isn't supposed to hurt them like this, but they can't find the words. This character might be the same one who runs to California when they are older. By the end of the song, the singer has experienced destructive love and misses when things were simpler.

    The first time I listened to TFB was when I brought "Rose" from a record shop because I recalled the name, I have no regrets and am so glad I did, i love this band so much. I no longer have that CD I gave it to my friend and miss it but it made her happy so it works out

    I love the part when it goes like "Flying model rockets own the sky in the backyard next to mine. I get these strange phone calls at night with no one on the other side. My brothers' friend explains to me with breathless words, bloody knees. It's a black-eyed trust. Respect with pain. a love that I'll learn when I've been through the same. When I've been through the same. When I've been through the same. And there's nothing in California that you could not learn to hate here. Questions will all still be waiting for you. Answers will only be less clear. It's hard to say what I would do if I was back a year or two. Look at our plans try to understand what could've happened to all of them. To all of them. Oh, to all of them. Flying model rockets own the sky in the backyard next to mine I get these strange phone calls at night with no one on the other side. My brothers' friend explains to me, with breathless words, bloody knees. It's a black-eyed trust. Respect my pain. A love that I'll learn when I've been through the same.

    there's something soo soothing about this song, it starts off sweet and slow, makes me feel like im just chilling in my bedroom alone, maybe smoking, while my led room lights are on, color purple.

      I could be wrong but I think it’s about some of his childhood memories (like flying model rockets with his brother and his brothers friend) his brothers friend has bruises and bloody knees from being hurt by his older brother and he tells the singer that his brother hits him bc of their brotherly bond and that the singer won’t understand until he’s experienced the same kind of love
