Potato Girl Lyrics

We live, we die and
I don't know the reasons we ask why
We hate, we push
Recent tests show we all are
Misunderstood

C'mon now
Something's seizing
You know you lost your mind
You know we all need saving
She found you late last night
You feel the madness gaining
You know you just can't win
You know this<b>x3</b>

But I'm just so tired of waking up on the ground
I, well I never knew the girl
And I never knew the world hurt
I, well I never knew the girl

We beg, We pray
But everything still happens anyway
C'mon now
Something's teasing
Your conscience can't decide
She stopped your will from caving
But left you paranoid

You feel the constant straining
She reappears divine
You noticed<b>x3</b>
But I'm just so tired of waking up all alone

I, well I never knew the girl
And I never knew the world hurt
I'm just so tired of waking up on the ground
I, well I never knew the girl
And I never knew the world hurt
I, well I never knew the girl
And I never knew the world hurt

This song, I believe, is the finest song I have ever heard. It reminds me of a girl I liked, but never really knew her well. And the world is a savage place, but not realizing it at all until you find out that all is not fair and good. This song could also be about the fact that a girl, once was lost, but found you. A person you never knew was around you.

Gaurdian angels, the only thing I can think of when I listen to this song. "She stopped your will from caving, but left you paranoid" I don't think an actual person can do that.

"You know we all need saving " my fav part of the whole song. totally true.

My favorite is the first verse. I half agree with Bipolar. I think that some people depend on or love someone so much that, that is the only thing they live for at times. Not wise when they break your heart though.

i think that its about a girl.. but shes an angel.. just like he said he never knew her.

Cover art for Potato Girl lyrics by Our Lady Peace

yes. an angel! "she reappears divine." right!

i think it is about an angel, it says that "i'm just so tired of waking up all alone" he probably misses being with somebody, and he's hurt by people being mean and cruel, his 'guardian angel' tried to help him out maybe, but it didn't work.

this is my favorite song by our lady peace.

I love Our Lady Peace.

Some one once told me if everyone in the world had a theme song this would be mine. I take that as a compliment.

It is one of my favorite songs by OLP, It is about how the world is far from prefect, but there is hope is out there. But why would this song be about a guardian angel, because the lyric "we beg, we pray but everything still happens anyway" seems to suggest that God doe'snt answer our prays, and yet the lyric "she appears divine" does suggest that god is there somehow, through the girl. A bit confusing, but still a very awesome song.

The idea of the girl being an angel is beautiful, but Drops is right about the "everything still happens anyway". I think the idea is that it's a normal girl but he is so deeply in love with her that he sees her as an angel, divine. Maybe he messed up his chances with her, which leads to his sort of bitter perspective about God not really caring.
