.. i cut and pasted the lyrics here. things i do...
so it was maybe a month or more ago i last heard this song. i borrowed that collection of miscellaneous songs that is known as 'abandoned shopping trolley hotline.' doubt i even bothered giving it a full listen.
i really like this song. it goes for 3.5 minutes or so but only kicks in when there's something like a minute left. (or so i recall). just messes with the song to be 2/3 worth of build up. that's mad.
it's something of the whole mental space of the gomez boys that i read into. girls who aren't quite ready to accept them or are a little unsure. so the girl doesn't necessarily leave but strays slightly with her love. she forgets for a while, 'i didn't leave ya, it's you leaving me.'
but it's that 2 way street and so the boy sees it as a testing time. will the love come back or will she fall away forever? he takes the blows and the pain. he's suffering most. 'but this is not about you, this is about me.'
just then the song peaks with that line with the realisation.
mind you, this doesn't really reflect my current mood. :P
