I see things completely different than Jack above. This is not a deep song and the singer is not at all in love. He says so point blank: 1) he does'nt need somebody/anybody 2) he's not lovestruck 3) he's not ready to change to the (good) person she sees 4) he doesn't care (as proved to himself when he's kissing her). and in addition he has "running shoes" to leave at any moment. She is in the "just fell in love" phase where the lover sees no wrong in the beloved. Simple as that. The above comments are regardless of who wrote the the song. But when you consider the fact that Justin Currie wrote it, my interpretation is strengthened ten fold. His songs are about running, cheating, not committing, being gone in the morning never to see her again, etc., etc. Currie's strength is writing pop melodies and hooks. That is the only significant strength of this song. The lyrics appear typical autobiographical Currie which is a very sad way to live. |

I don't think this is "obviously" about abortion as some have suggested. People don't talk about aborting a "kid". They don't usually admit it was a "kid". Also, saying "the kid has gone" infers, due to the word "has", that there was some action(s) by the kid. Aborted babies don't take any actions. Also, "trying to keep the mood right" is not something you do after an abortion. There would be no "keeping the mood right". She's driving, smoking and yawning right after having an abortion? I don't think so. The "kid" could actually be the girl driving the car and she has gone from home, left home. He has gone with her on the spur of the moment and taken nothing but the clothes on his back. "The thing they've done" is run away. If he "was more a man" he would stop this running away "in its tracks and go back home". But the best he does is hint at it by saying "its a long way back now hon". His handling of the relationship has been ineffective. "Driving with the brakes on" is ineffective. "Swimming with your boots on" is ineffective. Not expressing himself in the relationship is ineffective. He had/has trouble telling her he loves her and trouble telling her he did not. He has been uncommitted which is ineffective for a relationship. Finally, he decides to commit to her and the relationship and "nothing gonna make me break from her side" and he is just going to have to "deal" with her decisions, including this one to run far off. |
