Shawn Colvin – Sunny Came Home Lyrics 17 years ago
I always thought it was about suicide.
She had people walk all over her all her life and treat her badly, and she's going to kill herself.


idk. I don't think the fire is literal. I think it's not knowing what's going to happen once she dies.

William Fitzsimmons – Funeral Dress Lyrics 18 years ago
I agree, and believe that it is sung from the perspective of a dead man, singing about his friend or lover after he dies. I love the line 'I can't wait for you'.

I think in a strange cynical way he's saying he can't wait for her to die because he wants to see her again.

Just a plainly amazing song.

This song makes me feel home.

I'm leaving next year to live in Peru all alone, and it makes me think of that. Sigh. Idk.

Josh Ritter – Hotel Song Lyrics 18 years ago
I love this song.

I think it's about a hotel owner who keeps falling for the women who check in for the night. He has to keep watching them leave and he has to stay.

John Mayer – Dreaming With A Broken Heart Lyrics 18 years ago
I love the last line... It makes me think of that feeling when something horrible happens the day before and you know that when you wake up it'll hit you all over again..

I know he likes Biblical referances... What about the snake being like the one in the Garden of Eden.... A temptation..

Idk. that just came to me.

Iron & Wine – The Trapeze Swinger Lyrics 18 years ago
This song is so moving. I love everyones interpretations, but to me it doesnt feel like someone left him. It feels like he's leaving. Like... he's dying. He's telling her to remember him and all the times they had. He's unsure of what's going to happen after he dies. He seems frightened. It seems like he keeps going on and on in desperation thinking she'll forget him.
