Cover art for Stay lyrics by Tragically Hip, The

Well a lot of what I'm about to say is really ridiculously obvious, but that's ok I just wanted other opinions.... At first, he's saying "fuck this relationship, I don't need her" But with time, he finds that he really misses her.
As for all this balancing business- I think it relates to how in every relationship, you keep thinking that you can find the perfect one, and your life will just be so great after you've found her. But every relationship takes work, even the strongest and happiest couples still get in arguments and have problems, they just find ways to balance it themselves. Yea, I love this song though. AND I'm American. Wanted that out there. Love Canada, it's kinda cold, but I still love it. ANd the Hip. Anyone wanna talk on AIM my sn is MADSCOOTERFOO.

Peace, love and God's blessings
