Maybe I'm completely incorrect, but I interpreted it to mean be about a situation like friends with benefits. Fuck buddies basically. But that it doesn't mean they don't care about each other... on the contrary they may love each other more than a traditional couple does with all the labels and expectations and the whole gig. They're unselfish with one another. They don't demand time or fidelity. They enjoy the company when they're around, and when they're not, they live. "I'm not looking for a mommy... Don't seem like you need a poppy" - neither one is seeking a relationship. And it goes on to talk about that neither one is old yet, and has a while until they are - so why settle down? "How we stayed individuated... Same bed... different bodies... bless our seperate heads" He's thankful for what they have. They both are. People in relationships tend to meld together in some ways, and loose the outer edges of themselves in the person they're with, but because they remain seperate beings they keep themselves. Unselfishly, they don't demand to have anything of the other person that isn't already given. They don't take on their traits, and don't expect a call. It is what it is. That kind of love. Unselfish love. But I could be totally wrong. Its just how I saw it. |

When I hear this song I think of a late middle aged man (she saw my comb over) who falls in love with a college girl: probably 22 or so... The man is having a bit of a life chrisis, and this girl represents something that could bring him out of it and give his life meaning. The girl is free spirited and full of laughter... she's quirky and what he thinks is the solution to his sorrow. The chorus I belive is just an a-typical description of who she is. She's lactose intolerant, a bartender, she'll borrow you her toothbrush the morning after and she has a killer body (partially just because of age)... I think its just about this man, having lost her, remembering what they shared. Sitting in a movie and seeing her face, knowing he's lost it, drinking and telling stories. But alas, it ended because they were in different places in life- salty leave means a tearful goodbye. He misses her but she's moved onto someone else, probably her own age. Who knows... I'm probably over analyzing. Everyone hears something of their own in music and relates to it differently - which is the point of music, and what makes it enjoyable. |
