Above You, Below Me Lyrics
Don't wanna give
Don't wanna steer
Don't wanna be anything I'm not
You take answers
I give questions
Like some rolling monologue
Wanna be the one to say
That today could be the day
A pity to believe in what
You know is what you know
I will take you as you are
Please accept me as I am
Find your lonely life bizzare
Know it's above you, I know it's below me
??
Don't wanna live life in your shoes
I don't feel i know the way
Feeling you, giving me directions I don't need
Up and up and round we go
First it's fast and then we're slow
Could you connect with my interlect
I wont take you as you are
Please don't take me as I am
Find your lonely life bizzare
You'll see this in love
You'll see this in life
For an all year round reception
For a love with no connection
Knowing you, knowing my
Ignorance to more then life
Know it's above you, I know it's below me
I will take you as you are
Please accept me as I am
Find your lonely life bizzare
Know it's above you, I know it's below me
I will take you as you are
Please accept me as I am
There'll be something in the wind
To show us the light and tell us we're wrong
I want to move on

I don't know what this song's about but it's wonderful. Absolutely lovely.
I'm not too clear on it's meaning but i'm going to have a guess. I think the mans talking about a relationship that he misses and wants back but he knows it wont happen and theres good reasons why he shouldnt go back into it. "There'll be something in the wind To show us the light and tell us we're wrong". I think this si completely wrong probably but it's how i see it :D
i cant really figure out much meaning in it, but its one of my favorite badly drawn boy songs
I think that maybe they were sort of mismatched and broke up but he wants her back.
I will take you as you are Please accept me as I am Find your lonely life bizzare Know it's above you, I know it's below me
Wow, i love this song it was awesome in About A Boy
love it
this song is about being parallel with someone, but not quite matching, never connecting. there's hope for it, but it's not there yet. it's a very relate-able song for me..he wants to be on the "level" with someone...picture him on a line 2 spaces above another line. love would likely occur if the two lines met, but it's just not working.
the person he speaks to sounds like they can't accept that both of their lives are equal in value and experience, but are on quite opposite sides of the spectrum.
I've been trying to figure this song out too. I think it's a man who's in a relationship with a woman who has had a mad history but he loves her. "I will take you as you are, please accept me as I am..." "Don't wanna live life in your shoes.." "first it's fast and then it's slow". "find your lonely life bizarre" - It seems to me that it's about being in a relationship with a woman who he's drawn to but who is very independent and has a life where she seeks her own pleasure and is on her own a lot ;-) and she has had a lot of experience of life that he hasnt had - but he loves her regardless :-) x
