Cover art for Strange lyrics by Built to Spill

This song reflects the way I feel if I sit in a room alone for a very very long time and lose track of time...the song is lilting, almost offbeat...i think it's about accepting something--a moment or a truth--for what it is, without trying to define it. The disagreement, "you're not listening or/i'm not saying it right" reflects his inability to express exactly how he feels. It's just intangible. Strange.
