Built to Spill – Stab Lyrics 15 years ago
I think this song is about being rejected by a girl

Starts out by asking her to hang out, but he wants to be more than friends.
"Make it a time, make it anytime.. make sure that its not the only kind that others find"

Then he's contemplating suicide
I've got a mind I've got half a mind To shut down the whole system at the spine With fishing line

Then the reason he's contemplating suicide... he took a stab at getting the girl... but she wasnt interested... and she rejects him.
I'm really glad there's a grasp to grab it's only a stab in a wet paper bag is that so bad?

Then he's finally getting over it... but still he thinks he's a f***up
I wrote a song it was slow and long I wrote the words and the music wrong but life goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on
