John Mayer – Do You Know Me Lyrics 15 years ago
i think it's either love at first sight like suff22000 said or it's a feeling of familiarity with someone you don't know very well but you feel like you could have been something at some point in time, or if circumstances allowed it, now. so yes, basically, love at first sight..... but i think it's more about the inner connection and not about simply looking at someone and finding them attractive to the point of infatuation.

Coldplay – I Ran Away Lyrics 15 years ago
This song really hits me at a personal level (a lot of coldplay songs do that to me)... it actually relates really closely to a situation i've been in for the past three years.

To me, I Ran Away is about the singer who has an on-and-off relationship with a friend or lover. Whether or not they actually get together and have sex/hook up doesn't matter. The person he is singing about has really strong feelings for the singer but he doesnt want to commit, as someone has said before, or he has some type of hang up. He may or may not really like the person, but there is a feeling he has deep down that is disabling him from returning her feelings, or confirming them.

"I have your love on call
And yet my day is not so full"

i think that this means that even though she loves him, and he might like her, or could develop feelings for her, he is always worried that something better might come along, or he hasn't experienced everything he wants to before he can be with her comfortably.

this hits close to home for me.. there's been this guy who i really adore, and he "loves" me, but every time something has come close to happening, i always skip out on him. i have his "love on call" but i always freak, or am interested in someone else at that moment, or something. eventually he will stop warming back up to me, i know it. it's not fair to him, and "i'm a fool to mess with" him because he deserves so much better, he really is an awesome guy. but there's always that one single hang up.

Emilíana Torrini – Sunny Road Lyrics 16 years ago
oo i just discovered this song, i'm already crazy about it.

i think the singer/writer of the "letter"/narrator is speaking to an old lover, someone she used to be young and in love with. she left because she was young and restless, and needed to figure things out. he said "meet me on the sunny road" perhaps not realizing how much time would pass, but time DID pass, years and years, after she should have settled down and after she should have had kids, but none of that ever happened, and now she's alone and has figured out that she was only comfortable with that one lover she had so long ago...and she wants to know if she can meet her old friend on the sunny road. she's so road-worn that she realizes he might not want to, and she braces herself, giving him her address and such, leaving the option open. "i know i'm bad to jump on you like this" implies that it's been a long, long time since they last spoke and she's contacting him really randomly...

i hope i never have to identify with this song (in the way i've interpreted it anyway) but i think it would make for a beautiful story.

KT Tunstall – Universe & U Lyrics 16 years ago
i love this song!! it's perfect, and i feel it exactly...my boyfriend is this to me-- the first two verses stand out the most!
i think everyone who commented on this before basically had it...it's about someone who is like you and "becomes" you, but is also complimentary to your being....they are what you need them to be, a fire when you're cold and water when you're too hot, and you're that way for them.
that person is your universe, so even if there's a huge distance, it doesnt matter, because you're so in sync with them it builds "bridges" and the distance becomes insignificant...
:P
yep!

Yoko Kanno – What's It For Lyrics 16 years ago
I love this song, and I'm not sure if my interpretation is exactly true because I haven't heard it with the show, so i don't know whats going on in the story when this plays. To me the singer sounds like she is singing about feeling unworthy and receiving either responsibility or affections that she doesnt feel like she deserves, or doesnt want to deserve (maybe it's too difficult to uphold, even if she is technically qualified). for me it hits home as far as love goes, but I think that refers even closer to a responsibility the singer has and has trouble feeling worthy of it.
