She's Actual Size Lyrics
Words fail. Buildings tumble. The ground opens wide.
Light beams down from heaven.
She stands before my eyes.
She's actual size, but she seems much bigger to me.
Squares may look distant in her rear view mirror
but they're actual size - as she drives away.
Big men often tremble as they step aside.
I though I was big once. She changed my mind.
She's actual size, but she seems much bigger to me.
I've never known anybody like her.
She's actual size, nationwide, believe.
She's got all the money money couldn't buy.
She's got something special that someone left behind.
She's actual size but she seems much bigger to me.
Squares may look distant in her rear view mirror
but they're actual size - actual size to her.
Her face hangs in portrait on the post office wall.
She's stuck in my heart now, where my blood belongs.
She's actual size but she seems much bigger to me.
I've never known anybody like her.
She's actual size - actual size, believe.
Light beams down from heaven.
She stands before my eyes.
She's actual size, but she seems much bigger to me.
Squares may look distant in her rear view mirror
but they're actual size - as she drives away.
Big men often tremble as they step aside.
I though I was big once. She changed my mind.
She's actual size, but she seems much bigger to me.
I've never known anybody like her.
She's actual size, nationwide, believe.
She's got all the money money couldn't buy.
She's got something special that someone left behind.
She's actual size but she seems much bigger to me.
Squares may look distant in her rear view mirror
but they're actual size - actual size to her.
Her face hangs in portrait on the post office wall.
She's stuck in my heart now, where my blood belongs.
She's actual size but she seems much bigger to me.
I've never known anybody like her.
She's actual size - actual size, believe.

"She's stuck in my heart now, where my blood belongs"
I love this line. It's somewhere between very funny and very poetic. Closer to funny.
It hit me like a ton of bricks in the shower this morning. This song is about the Statue of Liberty.
I've been listening to this song for over 25 years and it just hit me what this song is really about: the Statue of Liberty: "She's actual size but seems much bigger to me" is the importance that the Statue of Liberty, as a symbol, has on the American people. "Her face hangs in portrait on the post office wall" is a reference to the Statue of Liberty postage stamps. "She's stuck in my heart now where my blood belongs" is the presence of patriotism in our blood.
I read this on their site, actually... this song is about a girl driving away from a guy in her car and seeing him in the side view mirrors. And instead of being "closer than they may appear", she's "actual size". Pretty sneaky, eh?
isn't it the other way around? the guy driving away from the girl?
"Her face hangs in portrait on the post office wall." she's also a wanted criminal, apparently
I thought it was abot someone who fixated on a face on a wanted poster, a woman who drove a getaway car. Hence the rear-view mirror, "Nationwide", all the money (i.e., from a robbery) and the post-office wall.
I think this one is obvious...
its about a girl who the singer, and other guys ("big men.."), have built up in their minds. The singer is reminding himself/the audience that she is just a person.
wait, so this song is about a criminal? aha it's super cute though.
