You used to have all the answers
And you, you still have them too
And we, we live half in the daytime
And we, we live half at night
Watch things on VCRs
with me and talk about big love
I think we're superstars
You say you think we are the best thing
But you, you just know
You just do
I wanna find myself by the sea
In anothers company
By the sea
I wanna go out to the pier
I'm gonna dive and have no fear
Because you, you just know
You just do
Watch things on VCRs
with me and talk about big love
I think we're superstars
You say you think we are the best thing
But you, you just know
You Just do
And you, you still have them too
And we, we live half in the daytime
And we, we live half at night
with me and talk about big love
I think we're superstars
You say you think we are the best thing
But you, you just know
You just do
In anothers company
By the sea
I wanna go out to the pier
I'm gonna dive and have no fear
Because you, you just know
You just do
with me and talk about big love
I think we're superstars
You say you think we are the best thing
But you, you just know
You Just do

This is one of my favorite songs, I agree that it is talking about the person in life who means the most and understands best. The part about diving in to the sea shows that together, they are more free. Watch the video, by the way. I think it shows a lot about the song lyrics, the two in the video don't talk, they just know what the other is thinking and lets them feel what the feel. It reminds that sometimes you don't need anyone to tell you that its going to be fine or help you "talk it out", sometimes you just need someone be with when you don't feel like talking. LOVE
You got it spot on Allaire.......perfectly said...You just know, you just do.

"You used to have all the answers"
This song (I think) is about having a best friend that you can always talk to about anything. Like, you don't need anyone else in the world 'cause you've got Tea and VCR's and the one person in the world you trust with you.
"When i find myself by the sea, in another's company by the sea When I go out the pier, gonna die and have no fear Because you, you just know, you just do"
For me, it speaks trust...I dunno :)
None of you have actually gotten the lyrics right yet. Directly from the vinyl insert:
You used to have all the answers And you, you still have them too And we, we live half in the daytime And we, we live half at night

This song has a lot of personal meaning to me, so I felt it necessary to signup and post the correct lyrics.
Thanks for doing that.

this song is simply about spending time with the person you love spending time with the most. the vcr reference hints at something kind of old school which would imply its someone you've known a long time. there's an emphasis on the fact that you don't have to be doing extraordinary things to feel as happy as you could ever feel. you could just watch things on a vcr with your favourite person. it's a beautiful song about love and friendship and the beauty of simple pleasures.
this song means a lot to me right now
I think its about someone meaning a lot to someone else, having all the answers and always making the other, person happy. They talk about everything and always know what to say all do. Although their in love they dont wanna talk talk about it
this is happening to me

I think you're right zombiieezzxx.
And my go at fixing the lyrics:
You, used to have all the answers And you, you still have them too And we, we live half in the day time And we, we live half at night

I can't put my finger on what the VCR represents here…
There's something utterly obsolescent about the device, something decayed or decaying, something just plain old.
At the same time, there's something comforting and unassuming about the VCR. I can't tell which they're going for.
To me VCRs are old, but strong. It's something you use when you want a walk down memory lane. I think they are saying that their friendship is old and simple, but it works.

I think it has something to do with the next part as well: big love is kinda an odd or obscure show. If youre with someone new or who you can't completely trust youre not going to watch something now considered kinda crappy or talk about a show about poloygamy if your trying to give them a good impression of you. But if its somebody you can complety trust and who knows you well you dont care because you know them and that they dont care/enjoy it. Because i think this goes bacl to the whole idea of...
