And I received an education all the while
I've come to an understanding
When you say you love me sometimes
That's all you can give
Love might just be an economy
But I don't believe in property
We don't own nothin'
And you wondered why I was so terrified
The night of our proclamation
Now do you understand
The risk we'd undertaken
Was a deer runnin' free
'Til its last breath found your window
We killed and drove on indecently
Oh how you screamed
But I'll never change
You'll never change
I'll never change
I've come to an understanding
When you say you love me sometimes
That's all you can give
But I don't believe in property
We don't own nothin'
The night of our proclamation
Now do you understand
The risk we'd undertaken
Was a deer runnin' free
'Til its last breath found your window
We killed and drove on indecently
Oh how you screamed
You'll never change
I'll never change

i cannot believe this has no comments. this is the most beautiful song on the new record, and one of her best ever.
it's about the "education" she received after being with someone for a long time. she realized how unfulfilling they actually were. and now she knows what not to look for.
i love the metaphor with the dead deer. so poetic and spot-on.
It's my favourite song off the CD. I love the ending. It sound so cool if you play it loudly in your headphones. It's like she's all around you.
