fun. – Light a Roman Candle with Me Lyrics 16 years ago
i have been sort of lucky.
for once in my life, i did stay up talking till three with my significant other.
i do think it was magic, though i'm not sure if he thinks so, too.
i HOPE he does.

but, you know.
the lyrics so clearly state that things get old.
no doubt i'll get old to him, and someday, eventually, and hopefully, i won't be too horribly upset about it.

Ingrid Michaelson – Sort Of Lyrics 16 years ago
obviously this girl deserves better than this boy is giving her.
but she doesn't have the willpower to end it with him.
and being with him is sort of draining, but
she'll never leave.

Ra Ra Riot – Can You Tell Lyrics 16 years ago
HOW LOVELY.
my bed's too big for just me.
how i'd love to just say that without apology!
unfortunately.
my bed is rather small.
an extra-long twin.
grrrr.
but still, the concept is nice.
of having a large bed far too large for you all by your lonesome.
and of course, everyone knows how it feels to be by someone that makes you nervous, that makes you wonder if you are being too forward, or not forward enough.

Rilo Kiley – With Arms Outstretched Lyrics 16 years ago
i don't know how many times i've listened to this song, and sang along, pissed at my significant other for not showing any affection for me.
and if you want me, you better speak up, i won't wait.
problem is, i probably would wait.
goodness fucking gracious.
i'm absolutely hopeless.

he better move fast.
even if he didn't.. i probably would wait. unlike jenny.
what would jenny do?
she is so wise.
DAMNIT.

Rilo Kiley – Does He Love You? Lyrics 16 years ago
"does he love you?" is achingly beautiful.
and no matter what mood i'm in.. i'm always in the mood for this song.
whatever i'm feeling.. pissed, cynical, overjoyed, euphoric, pathetic..
one size fits all.
the story behind it makes me cry.
every single character gets the short end of the stick.
the narrator, for she is unknowingly betraying her best friend.
and she'd never intentionally hurt her.
the best friend, because her husband is cheating on her. with her very best friend.
and the husband, for he is torn between these two women.
i don't know.
i haven't ever found myself in this situation.
but you know.
it is just gorgeous.

Feist – Brandy Alexander Lyrics 16 years ago
oh my.
where do i begin?
this song is one of the best things to ever happen to me.
sorry for the cliché.
but....
"my addiction to the worst of him"
that part really gets me. there is that special brand of infatuation in which one is completely aware of their "brandy alexander"'s faults. and his or her faults should be enough to drive one away.. but that just makes one want their brandy alexander even more. ahhh.
"i'd like to be the girl for him"
hasn't everyone felt like that? wanting to be THE person for someone?
"always gets me into trouble"
but i don't mind.

The Brunettes – Small Town Crew Lyrics 16 years ago
to be honest, i think this song is pretty random..
and the subject matter is scattered..
but still, this may be my favorite song.
why has no one commented yet?
well, anywho.
i believe the first part is about prostitution. there is a girl who will "dress up and make illegal money" dressing up as a big character.. for some reason, i think of marilyn monroe.
and the parts where they say they'll "flirt with the cult of scientology", and "stress and genius we took may yet fall out with that small town crew", makes me think of a bunch of young folk living in a small town, and they're experimenting with different things and trying to get out of the hellhole that is the small town in which they reside.
phew. long sentence.
i'd have to say, my absolute favorite part is,

And just so you know
The shameless lengths I'll go
My motives start core changes
I try lyrical tact to boot
Of unrequited lust
You said you liked my songs
If only I could have you here
I'd love, love, love
To smack you around the room

it's so gorgeous, especially the part about unrequited lust and shameless lengths. i'm not sure if this is supposed to be a love/lust song about a boy and a girl, but i'd very much like to think it is.
