I Bet It Stung

there's a sort of contradiction in this song. and there's no real solution or anything and i like that because that's how things are. "i love the rock and roll"

I really love the beginning guitar of this song. Very nice.

I love this song! it's so great!!!!!!!

sounds to me like someone wants what the other person won't give them. they just want to be loved, yet the other person gets fed up and uptight. overall, a frustrating situation.

this song is so good, it just evokes a lot of feeling to me! i saw em live and they opened with this song, it was really good!!!

I think this song is about people getting to know each other and the other one is really nervous around her. She wants things to just work out naturally without forcing it. The best relationships are the ones that just work out without having to force conversation or worrying about what to talk about next.

she likes the rock and roll.. as in... she likes the ups and downs, cuz its just natural..

Upset over a relationship going bad because the other person is giving up. And she wants them to calm down, to go with it like rock and roll. Stop getting uptight and ride all the bad times out and stick with me.

Sara said that when she wrote this song, she wasn't getting along with Tegan too well and wrote the song about feeling trapped.

for me,this song is about those relationships that are never quite real relationships for one reason or another.. one person or the other refuses to just give into it. "pull on my hand and say, please let's just make it this way"

the relationship tense, and everything becomes a struggle "I know you plan out everything that you want to say I wish that we didn't have to go about things this way" "don't get so uptight"

and one person isn't looking things from the other person's perspectives "Tell me you love me like you think you want to be loved"
