Gavin DeGraw – Meaning Lyrics 16 years ago
To those who say they are upset that Gavin is getting attention, shame on you. With all the crap and talentless puppets on the radio and MTV making all the money, I see it as refreshing whenever anyone who actually has talent slips through the cracks. So he may have fans who are less diligent than you, so what? Those fans don't diminish his ability to write and produce good music, they actually increase it. It costs money to produce albums, and the more money you have, the greater ability you have to express your creativity. I say that Gavin DeGraw is finally receiving the credit he is due. He made it people. And so, to Gavin and all others who have talent and are making the money you deserve, I applaud. I have a dream that one day, it will take actual talent to make money in the music business, and that dream begins one artist at a time. Thank you Gavin for being a pioneer.

Phoenix – Long Distance Call Lyrics 17 years ago
"Where to go I had no idea. $26.10 was the price to pay"

That line I think, he's talking about a bus ticket. He's young and has no idea where to go though. He was unsure about whether or not to leave

"those 26.10, I shouldn't give them away."

He's leaving away from the girl that hurt him. The part about taking the dead guy's part I think that maybe he went out with a girl who's b.f. died.

He's far gone because of the bus ride he took away from wherever the girl lived (where he was originally from). The part about the long distance call was her calling him and the capital letters could also be her name on the caller i.d. (who knows? that's my best guess though) I just picture him seeing her name on the caller i.d. and him wanted to answer the long distance call but doesn't answer, hence the second verse "long time no see, long time no say."

Long story short. I think the relationship didn't work because of the first guy. He couldn't take it anymore (her talking and mourning her loss) so he split and never looked back although part of him wanted to.
