I'm not afraid of the war you've come to wage against my sins
I'm not okay, but I can try my best to just pretend

So will you wait me out
Or will you drown me out?
So will you wait me out
Or will you drown me out?
(I might have to let you go)

I can wait for you at the bottom
I can stay away if you want me to
I can wait for years if I gotta
Heaven knows I ain't getting over you

I know the pain that you hide behind the smile on your face
And not a day goes by where I don't think I feel the same

So will you wait me out
Or will you drown me out?
So will you wait me out
Or will you drown me out?

I can wait for you at the bottom
I can stay away if you want me to
I could wait for years if I gotta
Heaven knows I ain't getting over you

We'll try again
When we're not so different
We will make amends
'Til then I'll just pretend

(Weigh me down)
Weigh down on me, stay 'til morning
Way down, would you say I'm worthy?
Weigh down on me, stay 'til morning
Way down, would you say I'm worthy?

I can wait for you at the bottom
I can stay away if you want me to
I could wait four years if I gotta
Heaven knows I ain't getting over you

We'll try again
When we're not so different
We will make amends
'Til then I'll just pretend

Weigh down on me, stay 'til morning
Way down, would you say I'm worthy?
Weigh down on me, stay 'til morning
Way down, would you say I'm worthy?

    This song remind me of two lovers that went through something that broke them. He is trying to be there for her but she keeps pushing him out. " Weigh down on me stay 'til morning" suggest to me she is trying to get another way to deal with the situation but he doesn't want her to leave. Lovey song that made me cry but i love it so much

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard

The Spy
Doors, The
Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
