Episode IV, which Jimmy Eat World published on Static Prevails stands as a symbol for the fourth episode "A New Hope" in Star Wars. It's dealing about finding a new love, which should describe this new hope.

"Episode IV leads us away from here.
don't expect to find what you're will intends.
i can see the light leading away from you.
let's disappear, we'll take a trip of no return to outer space.
and swim in pools which keep us warm, cleaned off the sand from off your feet.
we'll dance off time to the songs we've never liked.
and sing off key thinking it sounds all right.
and you know I almost lost my will to live.
(we're sure) you tell time in your.
episode IV leads us away from here.

let's disappear, both take a trip of no return to outer space.
and swim in pools which keep us warm, cleaned off the sand from off your feet.
we'll dance off time to the songs we've never liked.
and sing off key thinking it sounds all right.
and you know I almost lost my will to live.
(we'll show) and tell time one more time.
and you know I almost lost my will to live.
(we'll show) and tell time to your friends."

I just wanted to listen to this song one last time before going to bed. But the lyrics and the beautiful melody hit me totally unprepared, so I decided writing this entry.
the song is about falling in love with someone, who helped propping you up ("and you know, I almost lost my will to live") and with whom you are so deep in love, that you just forget the surrounding world ("we'll dance off time to the songs we've never liked. / and sing off key thinking it sounds all right.").

What a beautiful and expressive song. I nearly cry every time I listen to this song :(
