| i love this song... i was listening to it this weekend with my boyfriend, and we both laughed during the lyrics "she keeps a toothbrush at my place / as if I had the extra space / she steals my clothes to wear to work / I know her hairs are on my shirts" because that's exactly what I do. :) I like that his lyrics are real, and sweet. | |

this song makes me tear up every time i hear it... "so she built a skyscraper of procrastination and then she leaned out the twenty-fifth floor window of her reply" -- that's amazing! it just makes so much sense... so beautiful.. i love it. |

My favorite VH song too!!! It makes me cry to think about it... something about the guitar, and the passion in his voice... ahhh. I don't understand the "lonely picker's daydream" part, though... help? |

One opinion.... ahh screwed up songs about interpersonal relations. my favorite. it seems that that's 99% of songs though. and with good reason, as humans that's what's really important to us. so i'll give you my take on this. it's not the only take, and may not be right, but hey it's mine. it seems to me that this is a song about a relationship fading away, not a guy chasing a girl as a lot of people think... getting over a relationship with a "flake" maybe... if you look at the begining, the first, the first paragraph, "I know she said it's alright But you can make it up next time" can you ever really make up something in a relationship? it seems to me that if you start letting people down, it's because you chose to on some level or another. once you stop caring enough to make an effort, it's over. plain and simple. and "There ain't no use in lying " that's so true. why don't people just talk to each other and be honest? it seems that at our age (adults of all kinds), we should be able to have to be vulnerable and honest with each other. how can you expect to get to the point with someone that you could have a functional marriage if you can't treat the other person like they were a part of you instead of an outsider? and it makes you tired. if you're tired. it's probably hopeless. "I'm so, I'm so tired, I'm so tired of trying " "I know she loves the sunrise No longer sees it with her sleeping eyes And I know that when she said she's gonna try Well it might not work because of other ties and I know she usually has some other ties And I wouldn't want to break 'em, nah, I wouldn't want to break 'em Maybe she'll help me to untie this but Until then well, I'm gonna have to lie too" in relationships there's a certain period of getting used to someone. you relax with each other for sure and it's not like when you first met, you calm down. but that's far different from being lazy and giving up putting in effort. if you get to the point where you're ignoring your partner for other ties constantly, then that person sure isn't very important to you. then they get resentfull and start doing the same crap back. again. this is a sure sign of the end. until you both realize that... "Maybe she'll help me to untie this but Until then well, I'm gonna have to lie too" "It seems to me that maybe It pretty much always means no So don't tell me you might just let it go And often times we're lazy It seems to stand in my way Cause no one no not no one Likes to be let down It seems to me that maybe It pretty much always means no So don't tell me you might just let it go" maybe is just a no. whether it's from your mom or your loved one, it's just a way of them saying no when they don't have the balls or the comfort level to say it to your face. lack of honesty i guess... and we are lazy creatures. but if you care enough about a person to maintain a relationship, you wont be lazy, you won't let someone down because they're more important to you than you are to yourself if they're not, you might as well just let it go. right after that the song changes and it really kinda reminds me of the mood where you start to see that things in a relationship suck and you break up with somebody and start digging for self respect, distancing yourself... i get depressed after relationships but it occurs to me that maybe i got depressed slowly over time while in the relationship. if it turns to sh*t and you stick it out, it screws you up. don't get me wrong, i'm not saying turn and run any time some little thing comes up. you gotta put in effort. but when you stop caring enough to put in that effort... give up and go home. i think the last 3 paragraphs are the recovery. becoming a rock and respecting yourself. goes along with the ben haper slide guitar solo. course it could be about staying and fixing the relationship since he says he's like a tree and he won't move even after the silly things she does... but i think he needs to change it so it is depressing. |

For me, this song is totally all about sex!! Okay, I could be totally off-base... but it makes me think about a relationship where emotions stem from the physical component involved... i mean, "sticky hands, sticky arms, sticky situation..." does this strike anyone else as a purely sexual reference? |
