| Nickel Creek – Sabra Girl Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I'm trying to figure it out, but I think it's simpler than I thought it was in the first place. I think since they're using the phrase "Sabra Girl" then it was probably something that happened to one of them in real life. Since a sabra is such a peculiar word to choose. Anyway, I think it's saying how the narrator had been a lonely person and eventually ended up meeting a girl (or guy, maybe they're just using girl because I sounded better). They liked each other and this girl changed the way the narrator thought, OR this girl was the only thing the narrirator thought about. Something happened and the girl needed to go away, but they had known this since they had met. Then the narrator got letters from the girl and knew something was going on. I'm not sure what but it says that they were "reading between them to misunderstand" as if the girl was not telling the truth but they could see right through her. So then the narrator assumed that something was going on, but the girl insisted that there wasn't or something. The narrator read more letters and knew that they had to leave the girl even though they didn't want to. They couldn't believe they didn't see it in the beginning, and although they would've liked to stay with her, she was hurt. The girl then suggests just being friends, but she has hurt the narrator too much. And although to the girl it might seem like it wasn't that big of a deal, that it happens everyday, it hurt the narrator a lot. They eventually agree to be friends, but they want nothing more out of it, so it pretty much says that in time the narrator will be okay, but their future doesn't look good. |

| By the way... it's not "If I don't win I'll leave this town" it's "On a whim I leave this town." It means that she left randomly with no explaination or excuse. | |

| I heard that at one concert she said it was about a ghost in her closet. But that may not be true. It sounds like she's talking about a ghost though. | |

It doesn't sound like suicide to me, but it does sound like a car crash. Like maybe she was in a car crash and the people she was in the car with got hurt more seriously than her or died and it could have been just as easy for her to die, and now she feels bad because it could have been her instead of them. But I agree with the thing about death happening any time. That makes sense. |
