I didn't get this song until I was in a relationship that was on it's last legs and the two of us kept breaking up and getting back together....Don't pull hang on to even a thread of each other when it's over. Make a clean break so that you don't unravel your sweaters and end up in your Superman skivvies! |

| Elliott Smith – Say Yes Lyrics

I agree way back with femmesofrussia. Smith is talking about letting someone go because he was afraid of being hurt. ("It's always been wait and see, a happy day and then you pay, and feel like shit the morning after.") So he called things off before they got too serious. Now that she's gone, he realized he made a big mistake, because now that he's out of the situation, he thinks that with this girl, it could've been different. ("But now i feel changed around and instead falling down, i'm standing up the morning after.") Now the ball is in her court. ("I'm damaged bad at best, she'll decide what she wants.") He hopes that she'll say yes. |

This is one of those songs that I heard for the first time on my way to work in the morning and couldn't get out of my head the rest of the day. This song is about the relationship between siblings that are spread out somewhat far in age, told by the older brother. When you're much older than your sibling, the relationship takes on a strange form--something between sibling and parent. You care about each other, but you're too different to have a normal sibling relationship (in this case, the older brother was on a cub scout trip when the younger brother was born--but he felt so far removed that he may as well have been on the moon). Then, as you both grow up, you try to live your own adult life, but you feel guilty for not being around for your younger sibling all the time. ("And still trying to balance freedom and at the same time letting family know that I'm still alive.") In the song, the guy misses all of his little brother's events, like baseball games, and at those times that he does see his brother (like at funerals and family get-togethers) he's reminded how much he cares about the kid. He tells his brother how beautiful he is, how he'll be home soon, and that he wants to write him the perfect song. Which by the way, he definitely did. |
