That's Just What You Are Lyrics
Aimee is amazing... she totally captures the whole point of falling into a rut. If you've ever been in a relationship where there's a lack of communication, you definately can relate to the line "I could talk to you till I'm blue in the face but we still would arrive at the very same place"?? Isn't that the truth sometimes... Anyway, I totally identify with this song.
i think that aimee mann is one of those people that she connects with so many people and all of those connections are equally good. You know how there are some artists that just reach a bunch of people but they're songs are just catchy? Well she does the same thing but with the deepness of her lyrics.
It seems to be about someone refusing to work in a relationship and wanting the other person to make all the sacrifices.
yes. definitely a good lyricist.
Women are always marrying men, hoping to change them, to exorcise their faults. But it's not possible. Men won't change for their mate, any more than women will. In the end, Aimee accepts her guy for what he is.
Yes. And she dumps him.
Love this. I like how imperfect but incredibly clean the vocals are and how well the lyrics flow together to really illustrate relationships.
This song is sprinkled with insanely brilliant lines like:
"And you're always telling me that it's my turn to move"
1.) This eludes to playing a game and the negative connotations of playing games in a relationship.
2.) "Move" in the sense of "change" - the subject of the song insists that it is the protagonist that has to make all the changes in their realtionship.
