| She & Him – Why Do You Let Me Stay Here? Lyrics | 15 years ago |

goddesscaroline => I think you’re right, and definitely understand your reaction (about getting off the shelf). However, I think the reason she doesn’t is because she isn’t she if he doesn’t feel the same way back, which is why she would never make a first move. “I’ve got to get your presence/Let’s make it known." This shows that he probably hasn’t been giving her any attention or acknowledgment, which is why she’s hesitant and “stays on the shelf.” I can absolutely relate to this, not talking to guy because he doesn’t like you the way you like him. I know it might be safer sitting on the shelf, but is it worth it in the end? |

| She & Him – In the Sun Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I agree with theDrunkPianist (which in itself is actually a fun thing to type lol). I see this song from the perspective of the lead singer liking someone, but he (or she) doesn’t like them the same way, at the same level, or even knows the lead singer exists in the first place. That’s how I relate to this song anyway. Especially with the “It’s hard to be ignored” and “I’ll just keep it to myself.” The lead singer’s “been taking a beating” because the person they like seems to have no clue. “I’ve been thinking of leaving” translates as “I’ve been thinking of giving up and moving on.” I think “the slip” is the person she likes ignoring, or noninvolvement. I’m curious as to what “the sun” represents though. |
