Counting Crows – Mercury Lyrics 17 years ago
this is not a song about love- this is a song about addiction. this is not a song about changes, this is a song about sinking in the sand in one place and one time- this is not a song about tenderness this is a song about blindness. this a song about a girl so fucked up inside that everything she touches just turns bad its a song about a girl whos hands are like knives and when you love her she just sticks you with them its not a song about love. its a song about a girl who lies and cheats and changes everything she says because shes just like mercury- adam duritz

its tough to listen to him talk about this song. all of my relationships have ended because i am this girl. and i dont know what to do about it. its not that the girl is crazy its that she cant get her point across. "in absence of a place to be she stares there looking back at me- she hesitates and then turns away"... shes a victim as much as hes a victim. thats why they fit so well and why theyre addicted to eachother. she needs a reason to be there and he needs a reason to stay. and theyre both bad reasons. it makes me cry to listen to this song.

you cant accept her for who she is because shell kill herself or loving you and youll kill yourself for loving her... but all you want to do is love eachother.

Counting Crows – Goodtime Lyrics 18 years ago
I agree completely with fallonmarie. This song is one of my favorites. Its so hard to pick just one, though! All the songs are about me! Goodtime, though, is the one I listen to most.

To me its about an awkward breakup. You're together for so long and you hit a bad patch. You want to make up, make it all better. You know eachother so well and you want the other to be happy and safe but their just not making you happy. Youre the best of friends but... you just cant be lovers anymore. That bond is gone. But you try. But it started awkwardly and it will end awkawardly. You can tell that its just not going to work.

Your other taught you so much about loving and now that you know what you want, you know you have to look elsewhere. Bittersweet because the person who taught you how to love is the person you cant love anymore.

The words are sad but the beat is uplifting.

This song is my life. Im a red haired girl. I want a boy from Texas.
