Back on 1994, on college, I was madly in love with this sweet girl (by the time, I was convinced she was an angel), but she didn't know I existed. I used to stare at her on class and sang in my head

"Trying to get to you Said I'm going to get to you Trying to get to you"

with all the engine-driven strenght of those roaring guitars.

Eventually I spoke to her, and we became friends. Things didn't go as I wanted them to be, but time made me realise that I didn't lose love. Instead, I gained a very good friend, but many years later I listened again to this song and I thought to myself "I fulfilled what I stated: I got to her".

Never before were the Pixies so right about my life.
