So Jealous

to me this song is about falling in love with a good friend.

I don't want to be Part of the problem I try so hard To get roughed up Fists all up It looks that easy It looks that way to me It looks that way to you But then there's you Telling me I can Then there's you Screaming say something

she wants to tell her friend, but she doesnt because she doesnt want to cause any problems.

I want the ocean right now I want the ocean right now

maybe the ocean is an example of comfort and security, she wants to feel safe and loved.

I get so jealous that i can't even work I get so jealous that i can't even work

she sees her friend flirting and getting with other people.

There I am in the morning I don't like what I see There I am in the morning I don't like what I see

she notices that her friend has a serious relationship with someone and that person is staying the night and is there in the morning

I don't know how It's become such a problem Keep you up all night if I Try to remain calm

shes tried to keep her feelings under control, but now they're out of hand and people are beginning to notice

How can they ask Why I feel so angry Do you see my problem If I never explain it

now its very obvious and people, including her friend, have notcied and her friend confronts her about it and basically shes saying 'what the heck, cant you see that i love you? are you that dense?!'

But then there's you Asking me how long Say something It's taken me so long

her friend wants to know how long shes loved her because maybe that friend has loved her all along but shes never realized it.

This kind of reminds me of.... Person A being kind of whineyish, or always picking at problems, and Person B being quiet and unobservant. Like yelling at someone for everything they do wrong and all they can do is sit and listen. It's frustrating. Jealousy issues, dur.

Person 1 :: whiny, clingy, jealous, low self-esteem, loves person 2 Person 2 :: quiet, sincere, loving

and they fight

I am so jealous!! screw me i hate it this song helps me soooo very much

i like the chorus to this song but i can't always get into the beginning of it so well. i like the words but the tune drives me nuts sometimes.

absolutely perfect. jealousys a bitch.

i want the ocean right now too.

ugggh i love this song...the beats like so ... cool... thats all i have to say for now hehe C:

This was written by sara when she moved to montreal and felt extremelly homesick and jealous of the people back at home. At least, that's what I read somewhere. She found herself in a very complicated "love triangle" and stopped writing for a while. Her "writer's block" also inspired the song "fix you up" by tegan.

So basically, she had her sister pissed at her for not communicating and she was completely alone in a new city dying of jealousy. She wanted the ocean. Hell, so do I!

TnS = love

So in short,

How can they ask Why I feel so angry Do you see my problem If I never explain it"

That part totally speaks to me as a big wtf can't you see me and what I'm going through?, do I have to explain it all?, how can you honeslty not understand? kind of thing.

Love it all.

"There I am in the morning I don't like what I see There I am in the morning I don't like what I see "

I think she's more referring to herself, rather than someone else like someone said. she see's herself in the mirror when she wakes up and hates what she's become; jealous, out of contact with family/friends, etc.

and "I want the ocean" might mean like. she wants everything? or she wants something she cant have, she wants something that belongs to no one, she wants something that belongs to everyone else, something along those lines. can't quite put my finger on it.
