this is a great song. these lyrics are wrong, though..
what does this song mean?
is he talking about a girl he loves, but can't have?
or, my friend brought up the interesting idea that she is entirely in his imagination...
although, on Lifted, a Bright Eyes album (they are on the same record label, Saddle Creek), in the credits, there is someone named Kaite Murphy. Kaite isn't a popular name... is he just using this girl's name to give his imaginary perfect lover a name?
the idea that she is imaginary seems most likely, because he says:
Kaite will you come true for me
Come buy some time while I'm awake
Everyone else just lies to me
They say you're a dream
When he's awake, meaning every time he has seen her is when he's asleep. and he also describes her as being invisible, etc.
