well if "four white stallions" really is a metaphor for being horny, then it seems to me that the woman with these stallions would be the "other woman".

i've been thinking lately about why men cheat on their wives when they really are in love. and while i'm sure there are tons of different reasons, i certainly think sexual appeal is obviously so much of it. they can be in love with one woman's entire self, but after being with her and only her, the appeal of a beautiful woman who will sleep with him is too much.

four reasons not to go back...

does adam write songs that aren't about himself? i mean, about characters? 'cause i was thinking, a wife and three kids. something like that.

eh.
