Sure About It Lyrics
Whoa
I'm definitely sure that I'm not sure
Whoa
Sitting' on the corner of nowhere road
Just between I wish I could and I don't know
Rain is splashing up between her toes
She doesn't know her own area code
She's the picture of a heart of gold
On the edge of depression unknown
And a picture of the wrong I wrote
Now it's too late for a fight or fold
Now she's looking at me to know
The faucet's running and my car got towed
chorus
I'm sure about it
I'm definitely sure that I do surely doubt it
I wish that I could say that I was sure about it
But I'm definitely sure that I'm not sure
Whoa
Did you see the man
With the cocaine load
It's on sale for the price of your soul
And a man with a long trench coat
Wish I could hide in a big black hole
Sell all your pain, ten fold
And you're crawling down a long, wrong road
Fitted for a box they mold
All you're mixing is a heart they stole
Now they're looking at me to know
My heart is pumping and my feet got cold
I'm sure about it
I'm definitely sure that I do surely doubt it
I wish that I could say that I was sure about it
But I'm definitely sure that I'm not sure
Yeah
I'm definitely sure that I'm not
Yeah
Sure
I'm sure that I'm not
Sure
You know, oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Sitting on the corner of nowhere road
Just between I wish I could and I don't know
There's a man with a long trench coat
Wish I could hide in a big black hole
Now they're looking at me to know
My heart is pumping and my feet got cold
I'm sure about it
I'm definitely sure that I do surely doubt it
I wish that I could say that I was sure about it
But I'm definitely sure that I'm not sure
Yeah
I'm definitely sure that I'm not sure about it
I'm definitely sure that I do surely doubt it
I wish that I could say that I was sure about it
I'm definitely sure that I'm not sure about it
Yeah
I'm definitely sure that I'm not sure
That I'm not
Yeah
You know, oh yeah
I'm definitely sure that I'm not sure
I'm definitely sure that I'm not sure

Actually, this song fits precisely how one feels when conflicted with anxiety and/or depression. There is no other song in the history of mankind that I'm aware of that could more accurately interpret the feelings behind these. More to the point, anxiety with a touch of depression. I have personally always felt that the writer of this has true first hand experience in this realm of psyche because no one BUT someone with this experience could describe the thought pattern more clearly. From the other commenters, if they said they don't know what it means, they are just maintaining their privacy as far as I'm concerned, which is their right, and also a very common response for someone with anxiety or depression to maintain their dignity. For those of you who have never experienced this and therefore cannot relate to the song, I sincerely hope you never can. <3
I love this song. It's about being conflicted about, from what I can tell, addiction. About wanting to be clean but not being able to or something...that's what I always got from it. She's trying to pull him back to it: "She doesn't know her own area code/She's the picture of a heart of gold/On the edge of depression unknown". She clearly has a problem, and then the guy with the trenchcoat and cocaine...I don't know, that's what I always got from it. It's about being conflicted, not knowing which way to go. But if not even they know, then perhaps I'm wrong.
no comments? come on people, this song rocks! you don't know what you're doing or what's going on, yet everyone's looking at you like "well, will you decide for me?" plus the music is great. there's two basic parts of a song- the lyrics, and what helps the lyrics get stuck in your head for years at a time- the instruments, the beat, whatever you want to call it. i haven't heard this song in forever because my CD got lost when we moved, but i automatically remembered once i read the first few lines. i love this song, as i do most of their music. they're a great band.
I think this song is about being unsure about a particular thing in general, doesn't have to be anything specific.. but when you reach a crossroad and you're unsure of something then this song definitely speaks from that point of view.. doesn't have to be more complicated than that.

Personally, I have no idea what the song means, and I've listened to it time and time again. When the question of what it meant came up in concert, I was hoping that the guys would answer it for me, but Tay was all "Really, we don't know what it means!" which just...confuses me...lol.
i don't understand this song either
I also couldn't tell...as far as I can tell it's some sort of confliction. I guess if Tay doesnt know then we wont either. Ah, well. Good song nontheless.
