Jack's Mannequin – American Love Lyrics 17 years ago
"I kiss your neck but I just can’t look you in the eye"
Woah, fantastic line. Really takes ahold of what most superficial relationships feel.

But, I agree with all of you. This song must be about a superficial relationship based on mostly sex. Maybe they're hiding their relationship? Maybe he can't take it anymore? He needs to say goodbye?
Maybe we're all heart breakers when we can't turn back.
Maybe this is what most American love is all about...
*sigh*

Jack's Mannequin – Miss California Lyrics 17 years ago
Right now, this is my absolute favorite song off The Glass Passenger. And it isnt even on the CD, its just a bonus song. But either way, it's a great song.
I love the way Andrew uses these vivid images on his songs, especially on this one.
The part of "Im gonna paint a diamond on your hand, and you will be my bride" just gives me the chills of how beautiful the picture/poetic images are used.
I love and do art and I would love for any guy to paint a diamond on my hand (it would mean even more than a real diamond!)

But about the meaning of the song, just like the song says she'll be a mistery, this song is a mistery to me. It can be about a summer fling, or marriage or an obsession with a girl (just like recyledxphrases said about "Every Breath You Take": that song is about a stalker/obsession with a woman. And I totally agree with the comparison of this song and "Miss California", recyledxphrases.)
