Counting Crows – American Girls Lyrics 16 years ago
He meets this girl, and confused as to why she picked him. She comes across as someone who can be easliy hurt or damaged

"American girls are weather and noise
Playing the changes for all of the boys
Holding a candle right up to my hand
Making me feel so incredible"

he is saying how girls are unpredictable, and will adapt to what they think a guy wants and can make a guy feel like a million bucks.

"Little shiver shaking me everyday
But I could get this same thing anywhere
So if she goes away
Well, it's alright and I'm ok
Hey, she said come back again tonight
And I said, I might, I might, I might
She said, well that's alright
If it's alright, it's alright with you
If it's alright, if it's alright with me"

Here he is saying how you get that feeling, but he trys to delude himself saying any girl could make him feel this way, if she leaves him.

"I waited for an hour last Friday night
She never came around
She took almost everything from me
I'm going through my closets
Trying on her clothes, almost everyday
I could have been anyone you see
I wish it was anyone but me
Nothing but pills and ashes under my skin"

Here she does leave him and it makes him a wreck, he cant get her out of his head, turned to drugs ect.

"If I make you cry, you tell me why
I'll try again, if you'll let me try"

He will try anything to get her back, blaming himself though likely its not him.

"American girls are feathers and cream
Coming to bed so edible"

And here he shows how he would fall for it all over again, that girls are something that, even though he knows he is going to get hurt, he cant say no to trying.

Matchbox Twenty – Tired Lyrics 19 years ago
He knows shes been lying. That something else is going on. She wont tell him. And he's been just brushing it under the rug. He says her lying comforts him, as it shows she loves him enough not to tell him the truth and hurt him.

All is nothing in moderation, if she only cheats/lies/whatever occasionally its not as big a deal and he can deal with it.

would you be happier if I was only half the man I am

If he wasnt honest and stuck with her and was only half the "man" he is

I can lie to you, and say I didn’t mean it,

In the same way she lies to him and he knows it. Hes throwing it back in her face.

Tonic – You Wanted More Lyrics 19 years ago
Its talking about how he loved this girl. The first verse is telling what she thought love was, and the 2nd is what he thought it should be. She would hold him down, blame everything on him(she was never wrong), and she still wanted more from him, something he couldnt give her because he wasn't loved(for a love that isn't there) She wanted him to be what she wanted, to live the life she wanted, and never let him be himself. In the end it made him bitter from trying to work through things so many times, for so long. He is the one who had to make himself better, when he got depressed, or upset, she would never try to help him, or make things better.
