Cars and Guitars Lyrics

Cover art for Cars and Guitars lyrics by Tori Amos

I've read the same quote.

I think it's about a breakdown of communication, and finding a way to bridge the gap. And her molding herself allows for that bridge...

On a more personal note, to me this song is also about how if in a relationship there's problems, you can't keep on blaming it on basic differences. You can't keep on letting issues such as gender and difference of opinion to keep getting in the way cos those things won't go away and then there'll be no relationship at all.
