Even The Losers Lyrics
I like this line "Two cars park on the overpass, rocks hit the water like broken glass. "
I dated a guy once that I thought was way too good for me. We had known each other forever and I just kept thinking "This is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I'm so lucky but I know this won't last." We dated for around six months, I was a freshman in high school. I still miss him (two years later) even though I broke up with him. I hope he hasn't forgotten. It couldn't be that easy to forget about me...
I think "losers" refers to losers in love ... even the heartbroken ones keep a little bit of pride, they get lucky sometimes. Not quite losers as in "LOSER". That's how I see it.
I'm more in line with Jessy. It's about having that one date with the really hot chick he never thought he'd have a chance with, getting lucky (as it were), and then it was over. And how later in life, especially in down times, that one night keeps coming back to him.
I love when you hear the girl at the begging "It's just the normal noises in here" I have a feeling it might be either Pettys or one of the heartbreakers wife and she listens to them rock out all the time, and she sounds like a good southern girl
"It was nearly summer, we sat on your roof, Yeah, we smoked cigarettes and we stared at the moon" Great writing. Just a few words but we can see ourselves there. "Two cars park on the overpass, rocks hit the water like broken glass." Minimal words but in our mind we see an entire scene. That's the height of poetry.
great song saying that even an average guy can hit it off with a chick
great song. sorta depressing though - he's saying that he was lucky as hell to ever have a girl that good but it's over, she moved on, and all he has is memories of when he wasn't such a loser.
i just got a DVD of tom petty live at the Fillmore...he messes up the lyrics at the beginning of the song...
It was nearly summer, we stared at the moon Sat on your roof, and......... We stared at the moon
It was pretty funny. i've never seen anyone get such an ovation for singing the wrong lyrics
This song in my opinion is about keeping faith in yourself, even when things go wrong (example: in this song it sounds like he broke up with a really great girl that he thought was too good for him).
