Girl Laying Down Lyrics
She's sleeping
Weeks at a time
And when she wakes up
She watches TV
Counting cracks in the ceiling
So I give up, waiting for someone waiting
Talking to someone, staring
I never come around
I left her fifteen years behind
Girl's laying down
Never come around
In afraid of
Beeing needed
And seen she watches
The world on a screen
She's distant
And God knows I tried to leave her
But she's got a constant fever
I never come around
I never come around
I left her fifteen years behind
No, I never wasted my time
We have something in common
She's as different as I am
My interpretation of this song is that she is singing about her childhood.
The overall angst of growing up and youth lost and wasted on the young. If you follow the other songs on her album this makes sense as the general theme of her music is growing up, growing old, finding and losing love.
"I left her 15 years behind..."
I'm not the same "girl" I used to be, I left that person behind long ago and I am a much different person now...
"God knows I tried to leave her...but she's got a constant fever... I let it slip my mind..."
Even though I am not that person I was before and o'how much I've tried to change, still, my past is part of who I am today... how often I forget.
She's as ~indifferent~ as I am.
Or maybe Anna has a childhood friend who has SSPE!
