| Train – Meet Virginia Lyrics

When I first heard this song I just put it on repeat. And as I learned the lyrics I could help but think, this Virginia chick is a lot like me (minus the stealing and the high heels and the family and the coffee and I hope the unusual body shape haha). The not owning a dress, the messy hair, being stubborn, the love of babies and surprises, the hating to be alone, making fun of the president, doing things at odd times, not being confident but being intuitive, and the not wanting to live the life you have, yeah that's basically me Plus I'm from Virginia (and will forever love that place), so that has to count for something, too haha |

One of the worst things in life is a one sided friendship/relationship. And the only way to help yourself is to get away from it immediately. You can't always rely on it to just die out on it's own; you must extinguish it.
She doesn't want anything to do with this guy anymore; he's only a distraction. As she tries to focus on her own life, he catches her eye and she follows him. But once she gets close, he disappears. When she looks back at her life, she sees that she's missed out, and for nothing.
Just gotta let go and ignore |

Hearing this song makes me feel like I'm the one who's in love! Haha but this song is just about that one person in your life, that one thing that really matters to you. Whenever you think about him, you feel all fluttery. Whenever you see him, you fall in love again. Whenever you're with him, everything else seems nonexistent. I think the most comforting and wonderful feeling in this world is being so close to someone and then breathing in and out at the same time, and then hearing their heart beat and believing that it's in sync with your own.
There's nothing else like it |

In high school, I became best friends with and technically dated this guy, who at the beginning just wanted to copy some homework. I do believe that he did begin to really like me and my homework was just a perk, but after we broke up, it kinda felt like he just kept me hanging on so that he could still copy my work. It was around this time that I heard this song and was like "hmm?" Haha but yeah, that's just what this song reminds me of |

This is just an amazing song. I feel like it was created so that ANYONE could relate to it, even just a little bit. Everyone has a certain trait or characteristic that they are ashamed of and wish they could change. We all want to do good, but it can be difficult sometimes, so we feel helpless. Most of us just want to reboot and change for the better. |

This song's just about honesty. Nobody likes to be lied to, and some (including myself) don't want anything sugar coated. Just be real and straightforward; it'll save time, and prevent one from getting hurt or misled. |

This song reminds me of when I didn't have many friends, and the friends I did have weren't really close at all. But what can a person do? Not much. I just kinda had to go through the motions every day, and any time I felt bummed or stressed out, I had to keep it to myself and bear it for a little while. And the worst part was that I couldn't run away from it; I would have rather been physically alone than to have been lonely and surrounded by so many people. Eventually it did wear me down I cried a lot.....like a lot, just all the time, but I prayed about it and things did get better:) |

I don't think this song is necessarily about opening your mind as much as it is opening your heart. He is ultimately saying that every day is a new day, and that who he was yesterday may not be who he is today. He seems to be very in tune with nature and the earth, too; just as people age and change, so does nature, and he senses the differences of every day and wants to discover these differences and just learn. Contrary to the saying "ignorance is bliss", he seems to become even more joyful as he discovers and learns. This newly found euphoria he wants to share with everyone around him so that they can feel the same way. This song seems to be about finding the good in everything and then showing others how awesome it is to live such a content life. It's just a really cool, peaceful song. |

This song seems to be about a guy who's not necessarily a good one or the guy this girl thinks he is. She loves who she thinks he is, and he doesn't exactly want to show her who he really is. He just wants to end their relationship because he knows that eventually she will figure him out and won't be happy with what she finds. He's just trying to keep either of them from becoming so close and then getting hurt.
When I first heard this song, it reminded me of the relationship I was in at the time. In this case, he just became way to attached way to quickly and already said that he loved me, even though we had just met a week ago. And although I knew form the beginning that we weren't really in sync and never would be, I continued dating him. So the line "you don't know who I am" started out for me as "you just really don't know me that well", but turned into "I'm hiding the fact that I already know this isn't working, and I'm a terrible person for not ending it now". |

This song actually reminds me of myself when I was in high school (especially in the fall). Fall was my favorite season, and I always wanted to go outside and do something or even play like a little kid. But school was super stressful and I was always focused on that. So even when I wasn't doing my school work (when I should have been) I didn't go out and do the things I really wanted to do because then I would feel guilty and wouldn't be able to fully enjoy myself because of all the work I knew I had to finish. So I would just take a nap.
I had an good life and really had no room to complain...like ever. But although I felt "fine", I never really felt satisfied. I just wanted to go outside and play in the leaves and smell firewood burning and share all of this with a good friend. I felt restricted, and really couldn't do much about it. It was like I was in a really boring dream. |

I think this song is about a guy who really cares for a girl, but their relationship seems strained every now and then. It's like they feel so distant sometimes, because he might have hurt her in the past or they might have broken up at one point, but he just wants to be with her and for things to get better. They say things they don't quite understand, and someone ends up getting hurt from their words. But even when this happens, he knows that she was always there for him and hopes that she will be in the future, too. He never wanted to admit defeat or any of his faults; he would try and conceal his flaws But now he promises that he will stand by her and always be there for her. He still patiently waits for her emotional wounds to heal, while he knows that they both still have feelings for each other. This song is like his official promise to her, and doesn’t want it to be forgotten. He then promises that he won't ever hurt her again, and how he will get their relationship back to the way it should be.
He recognizes that he has flaws and that she is the only one who understands him and accepts him for the way he is, even though he doesn't completely who he is. She still gets him. His feelings of contrition and love for her swell up, to the point where he does exactly say what he means. He wants her to stay with him and help him break from his flaws. This song always reminded me of this strange friendship/relationship thing between me and this other guy; we were best friends and then dated for a short time and then we back to friends but we still had feelings for each other. Weird and confusing…..but mostly confusing. |
