Never thought that we would ever be more than friends
Now I'm all confused cause for you I have deeper feelings
We both thought it was cool to cross the line
And I was convinced it would be alright
Now things are strange, nothings the same
And really I just want my friend back
And my mind's gone half crazy cause I can't leave you alone (oh can't get you out of my system)
And I'm wondering if it's worth me holding on (holding on)
Said my mind's gone half crazy cause I can't leave you alone (can't get you out of my system)
And I'm wondering if it's worth me holding on (yeah)
I'd hate walk away from you as if this never existed
Cause when we kissed the moment after I looked at you different
Lately I gotta watch what I say
Cause you take things personally nowadays
You used to laugh now you get mad
Damn I just want my friend back
And my mind's gone half crazy cause I can't leave you alone (oh can't get you out of my system)
And I'm wondering if it's worth me holding on (holding on)
Said my mind's gone half crazy cause I can't leave you alone (can't get you out of my system)
And I'm wondering if it's worth me holding on
oh oh oh oh oh yeah
What happened to the one I used to know (oh yeah yeah)
The one I used to laugh and joke with
The one I used to tell all my secrets
We used to chill and be down for whatever whenever together yeah
And my mind's gone half crazy (oh) cause I can't leave you alone (I'm going half crazy baby)
And I'm wondering if it's worth me (oh) holding on (over you)
Said my mind's gone half crazy (yeah) cause I can't leave you alone (and I just don't know)
And I'm wondering if it's worth me holding on (said I just don't know what to do now)
we used to chill (yeah) we used to hang
we used to do we used to do some many things together (yeah)
yeah yeah yeah yeah
oh oh

Love in a Vacuum
'Til Tuesday
'Til Tuesday
Well, in my opinion this song is about being a young & maybe a little naive &/or introverted girl and finding yourself loving a man who is at first very charming, carefree & outgoing, and seems at first to be without limits, as in
"There was a time
you opened up every doorway
you didn't mind if everything
wasn't your way"
then that man starts to gradually become more introverted & shows their more possessive/obsessive side to you as the relationship progresses, even while they keep up the appearance of being carefree & outgoing to everyone else,
"Don't pull away
that goes against what you told me
I look in your eyes
I realize what you've sold me
is love in a vacuum"
so you confront them about the way they're acting and of course they deny it,
"I think you've changed
but you insist that
that's not true"
quite possibly they are an addict of some sort, my guess would be cocaine, &/or showing very obsessive behavior towards you (early on in the video for this song we see the man hanging a picture up, it is a very large portrait of Aimee & it is prominently displayed in his/their apartment for the duration of the song), thus their "love in a vacuum",
"You look so strange, so distant
that you're hardly you
Now I can see
how you have been acting different
You say it's me
but I know
that it isn't
it's love in a vacuum"
but still you are in love with them and don't want to leave them and you know that they are truly in love with you and they don't want you to leave them either, maybe they are convinced you can save them from themself, maybe they are so broken that the possibility of an overdose &/or suicide attempt is very real and you want to get through to them that their behavior not only dangerous but it is also just pissing you off and if they don't wise up they run the risk of loosing you, as in the lines
"You will be lonely
if you leave me alone", so you want to save them but can't get through to them due to the addiction &/or emotional problems they have,
"Love in a vacuum
and that's not enough
love in a vacuum
You will be lonely
you'll be the only one who feels this way
You will be lonely
if you leave me alone
You will be lonely
you'll be the only one who feels this way
it's just not enough"
you want them to understand that the love they are giving you is not enough when it is filtered through the vacuum of their drug addiction &/or emotional impairment,
"You will be lonely
you'll be the only one who feels this way
it's just not enough
and just wait
you will be lonely
Love in a vacuum
Love in a vacuum
and that's not enough
Love in a vacuum".
'Love In A Vacuum' for me is a hauntingly truthful acute argument on the loneliness of obsession and almost inevitable loss of love that follows people who are broken in some way or another; the obsessives, the coke heads, the drunks, addicts or the just-plain-old emotionally broken; a razor sharp, lyrically driven, deceptively poppy, yet ultimately-depressing-in-the-best-way song.
Quintessential Aimee Mann.
This song reminds me of my ex boyfriend and how we were friends before we started going out. Our relationship did not work out and unfortunatly we had to break up. Know all i wish is that i had my friend back.
I really love this song. I think the lyrics r really good and Musiq has the most soulful and amazing voice
i luv this song .. the lyrics are great nd i luv listenin to this . nd even though i'm not in this situation sum of the lyrics can relate to me nd i luv it wen songs do that cuz yu can really connect =)
This song reminds me of a guy that was always one of my best friends, friend...and we would hang out every once in a while but one year we ended up hanging out and he had broken up with his girlfriend of two years, well that night he had started to like me i guess, and we started hanging out more..but i really didn't think of him in that way i just kinda thought he was a cool guy to hang out, then like a week later he ended making out with me, i really didn't want that to end up happeneing cause i really wanted to know him more than i did before anything happened physically so that made us be more than freinds really soon after we started hanging out...and obviously you think of someone different after you kiss somsone, i tried to break it off or told him we should slow things down and he said that things would be strange ...so basically in my mind i said alright if he thinks things will be strange as friends i'll just give us a try "together"..but after a month and a half..i just saw how he really is..not that he was a bad person but just someone i don't want to end up marrying..and he wanted to eventually look towards marriage..but no...didn't work..and he's just a really nice guy i just wish i had him as a friend..I know that was a long explanation..but its still new to me in my mind..kinda sucks..
This song seems like a warning. Like an uncle telling you about whats happened to him and how it could happen to you too. It'd be awkward to start a relationship with a best friend because after its over it'd just be too weird to simply look at them again. I ALMOST had this happen to me but fortunately I waited a day too late to tell her my feelings and she hooked up with another guy. After that I saw that it wouldn't have been a good investment on my part and I'm glad that this isn't another song that I'd listen to and be like 'yeah man, we really fucked up didn't we?'
