10 Days Late Lyrics
Click your heels and feel you come for me
Carefree, she's got something big to tell me
At the ocean, talk back at the ocean
There's no simple way to let you know
Funny, how she always cried out daddy
I got a big surprise
She said, "I'm in trouble now and it cannot wait"
She's ten days late
And boy, your life got complicated
Well I can't wait to see this through
She's ten days late
Ten days late
Low ride bicycles go cruising by
I laugh, I don't even know why
Talk back at the ocean
Consequence and ozone catch a glow
Oh no baby, oh no no
Give me a minute now to figure out my state
Oh I know, she's ten days late
And I don't know where to take it
But it's still great knowing you
Ten days late
Uh!
Time has come for you to choose
Baby daddy, keep your boo
Many blessings come to you
Baby daddy, keep your boo
Baby daddy, keep your boo
Baby daddy, keep your boo
Your eyes look to me for what to do
I can't lie, I don't know
At the ocean, talk back at the ocean
No one's laughing now, what do I say?
You walk away, but oh no don't go
At the ocean, talk back at the ocean
Give me a minute now to figure out my state
She's ten days late
And I'm never going to fade it
I guess I'll always be knowing you
Knowing you
Knowing you
Crawl up...

No one's commented on the phrase "knowing you", think its just a sort of 'goodbye' to his friend(s) as he moves on into parenthood? i don't think hes talking to the girl or the baby to born because the way the song sounds it seems optimistic "Well I can't wait to see this through".
anyhow i got my own fantasy to the song that incorporates the phrase, but whenever I'm listening to music I go on long tangents of winding fantasy so I don't trust my interpretation :D
okay I couldn't contain myself. My interpretation is too fun. There's a passage in the bible that goes:
The mighty man and the warrior The judge and the prophet The elder and the diviner The captain of 50 and the honorable man The counsellor and the expert artisan and the skillful enchanter -Isaiah 3
I picture a boy growing up through these 'phases' of life, and its all because he thought he knocked up his girlfriend so he ran away. In the run he passes through these 'phases' and now that hes back hes discovered she's '10 days late'. Its perfect timing for his return and he'll grow up and become the father as a 'skillful enchanter'. I mean, isn't that the father we all dream we had? lol.
Yea, unless Third Eye Blind happens to be a Christian (or perhaps Jewish?) rock band i know this isn't what they meant :P
Anyhow its dollar drink days at mcDonalds and I had to get this out before I got my large Nestea.
But seriously, who is he saying "knowing you" to, or is someone saying "knowing you" to him?
One of my all time favorite songs, by one of my all time favorite bands.
song brings back too many memories....
It means the period is 10 days late.
i love this song and i can relate because i was about a week late, but i ended up getting my period thank god. i saw what you meant-it can ruin a relationship. but me and my hunny got it back together and were fine again. great song, really speaks to me.
i had a friend who was late for her period....and she was freaking out, as was i....cause she's a good friend of mine, she was alright in the end....thank god
happy new year everyone
AH this happened to me and my girlfriend not too long ago but thank god she's not pregnant cos its literally the scariest thing that's ever happened to me. I'M NEVER HAVING SEX AGAIN. and third eye blind rocks!
Oh that Stephan Jenkins. I admire this man, being able to through in a sexually perverted line into a song.
"Funny, how she always cried out daddy"...him and his double meanings, gotta love it.
This situation happened to his good friend....and former drummer i think? The baby that resulted is Stephen's godchild.
Read it straight off cd liner notes....
@allie87 you are correct, but I don't think the former drummer part is right. The guy swears that he never...umm.. completed the act inside the woman hence the final shouted words "it must crawled up the bedpost."
