Victoria Lyrics

Don't know why
Tori came by
But I could see
By the look in her eyes
Tori'd been driving around the town for a while
Playing with the thought of leaving
Don't know why
Tori just smiled
Mentioned something
Bout how you arrived
Must have been hard to see through the tears she was hiding

She said I might not be seeing him soon
Got a few things I've been waiting to do
Hey, Tori came by
Tori came by tonight
Hey, Tori came by
She says to say goodbye

Looked outside
At the car in the drive
And the suitcase
On the backseat inside
Sure its so she can't look out behind at the road

She said I might not be seeing him soon
Got a few things I've been waiting to do
Hey, Tori came by
Tori came by tonight
Hey, Tori came by
She says to say goodbye

Don't look down
She seemed alright
You might be asking
Where is Tori tonight
Somewhere out on the highway I'm sure she's fine...

It's not about suicide, people, it's without a doubt about a break-up...don't be morbid...

A friend of mine told me this song was about suicide in her opinion, and i totally agree.

I like this song. not sure what is trying to be put across, but i like it anyway. Love listening to it anyway.

Maybe I'm not reading in deep enough, but I think this song is pretty much laid out in the lyrics. It's about a girl, Victoria or Tori, who just got out of a bad relationship and feels that she needs some time to regroup ("she says 'i might not be seeing him soon, i gotta few things i've been meaning to do'") and so she says goodbye to a good friend (the person singing, John or someone, whoever) and the friend is passing along the message of how he saw her and why she left.

Yea thats pretty much what i got out of this song, its such a pretty song, i love it. its kinda sad.

Cover art for Victoria lyrics by John Mayer

I think that Tori was dating someone who was living with John and she is leaving town. She came by to tell her boyfriend, but John was the only one there...So now this is his way of telling his friend that Tori is gone... I also think the lyrics is:

Mentioned something Bout how you were right

Instead of:

Mentioned something Bout how you arrived

But oh well....

It is a really sad song but I caught something abotu suicide in there too--"looked outside at the car in the drive and the suitcase on the backseat inside, sure its so she cant look out behind at the road"--if she cant see the road, then shes more likely to crash...i think its interesting that its something subtle like that. she wasnt planning to drive off a cliff. the blinded vision would look a lot more accidental

@skibunnie127 she can't see behind her...she wouldn't have a suitcase if she was committing suicide.

Cover art for Victoria lyrics by John Mayer

I think it's so she can't look back. She's just getting out of the town, a bad relationship. Don't look down / She seemed alright / You might be asking / Where is Tori tonight Somewhere out on the highway I'm sure she's fine...

Cover art for Victoria lyrics by John Mayer

I think this song is actually about tori, who's leaving her boyfriend. She doenst say good bye to him, she just tell john (or the narrator) to say good bye for her, because its too hard for her to say it herself, and john is saying this to the boyfriend....i think so!

"Must have been hard to see through the tears she was hiding" favorite line....and yeah i dont think its bout a suicide either...
