2002 Lyrics
this song the ultimate ballad to regret and true feeling... people sometimes never get over that one BIG breakup. This song is one of my favorites of Bob's, he actually cryed when I saw him live. Anyone who reads this, you should definately look up bob, he is probably the best underground artist i have ever found. He is nearly exclusive to austin, but he's getting out, and i think he may come out fast. i hate comparing musicians, because no one is like anyone really. i really like Bob, and i also really like John Mayer, Dispatch, Pete Yorn, Jack Johnson among others. That was just as a reference, you know, maybe ya'll could get an idea of what Bob "might" sound like from what else i listen to. I'm rambling now, so peace.
wow. i'm actually excited that i found bob on songmeanings.net, i figured he was far too underground still. but on with the interpretation
it's a great song. it's that classic "i don't need you i'm doing just fine" intro, but when he starts to break the facade. the hurting and broken person under neath is shown in the light. it's not a plea for her return, it's almost mainly a matter of fact statement.
a great song, that definitely benefits from the many different ways he plays it live. the whole song about some girl is clearly a contradiction to his initial statement of not thinking about her anymore. its definitely about not getting over a girl even if he wants to, or thinks he has.
I think its more like he has learned how to live without her, but has no life left in him. He behaved a certain way ("doing exactly what I wanted to") now he has to live with himself because she couldn't. Maybe. Peace
