In My Pocket

It sounds to me that he is the one searching for her, maybe he’s not sure exactly who “her” is, but regardless he’s looking for real true love as he has it to give the girl who also has it. She knows she’s it, she’s the real deal, all she has is real true love. She is also not like everyone else or every other girl. (Among the many muted faces (they’re all the same), you try to find me in the spaces. You’re drawn to my song) he is drawn to her because she’s different, she’s special, she’s not like the rest. That’s what he desires, someone who is special and is different who understands love as he wants and needs it. He lives, (he moves) but not to fall or be in a place (mental or physical) as everyone else. He, stops, he closes his eyes, he envisions her and she is all he needs. When he finds her, he’s almost afraid to reveal the truth, that she is it, she is what he needs. But he’s still afraid of it, afraid of the true love and power over his heart she has. He’s “hoping the melody with leave” him because he doesn’t want to get hurt. He doesn’t want her to see that she is what he wants as in fear she might break his heart. He “walks to where I might not see you” meaning he hides, he is trying to hide that she is true love and has a power over him he doesn’t want her to know about. He wants her love, a feel for her love, but he’s almost too afraid to feel it completely. And she notices. She’s been in the exact same place before in her own life. And now even she’s afraid that his eyes will reveal what she needs as well. She’s saying that all she has for him is love, that is all he is truly desiring and the faith that love is really all they need. But she says “how much for your love?” She’s basically telling him what can I do to show you, prove it to you, that I have true love for you. She’s trying to say that he can let his guard down with her, she won’t break his heart and when he finally does, it will be revealed- the love he has for her as well. She feels that he is all she needs as well. She’s saying “slip my heart in your back pocket”, meaning keep it , it’s there for you when you realize it’s real, but “don’t leave me hear without it” because she also needs his love. (She’d be “broke” without it, or she’d be sad, lost, etc., without his love too). So she keeps trying to show him, convince him, or prove to him somehow she’s got the true love he’s been looking for. (As in “how much for your love?” Because at the end of the song she’s still trying to get him to reveal to her that not only has he been searching for true love and found it and she wants to show him but that she knows he also has that love for her.

If you think about it a little more deeply it’s a well written song and deserves more attention to it than just face value. Which, is, what music lyrics are supposed to be.

so bad, yet so good

Awsum song the first 5 times u hear it, then it gets old but its cool:)

dont really get the lyrics but catchy song.. wierd vid. shes in like a asian, bhuddisty ( no offense 2 any 1) club. Its wierd.. i mean theres dudes boxing upside down?? Wazzup /w that?

For some reason, this song reminds me of a Prostitute. I don't know why, maybe it's the: "Tell me how much for your love" bit. But every time I hear it, this mental image of Mandy leaning against a street lamp, all decked out in sleazy clothing pops into my head. It's enough to make anybody laugh.

This song is real cool. As far as the meaning goes, I see it like this; this guy is drawn to the narrator (Mandy) but is too afraid to make a move. But Mandy, with nothing but pennies in her pocket, has faith that he will finally make a move (this keeps her warm). She doesn't want to lose faith, because she'd be "broke without it". She wonders what she has to do to get this guy to do something ("how much for your love").
