i love this song. i agree with elstortez that it is in the first person... the singer is talking about how he is so very in love with a girl and goes out of his way to demonstrate his love to her, but she casts his love aside for another more "challenging" love interest. the stone is the "other man" who puts forth little effort to woo her, but wins her love anyhow. it is sort of the classic situation of someone who loves "the thrill of the chase", or who feels the relationship is only worthwhile if she is never quite sure of where she stands in it. she loves "the stone" because he makes her crazy trying to figure out of he really cares for her and she mistakes this emotion for love and romance. she passes by the singer because it is too easy... his heart is on his sleeve. |
