The Killers - The Way It Was Lyrics Meaning

"This song is about coming to a crossroad in a relationship. There's so much s*** coming at us a millions miles an hour everyday, you know, and this distance develops. I guess it's about getting the courage to ask the important question."

That' s what Brandon Flowers said, and it pretty much sums it all up.

(He was so cute when he said that, full of emotion and spammers/pauses. Also how he continued with "I'm no good at it, that's why I sing about it." The song really means a lot to him.)
