"Get lost on the boulevard at night
Without your voice to tell me
I love you, take a right
The 10 and the 2 is the lonely sight"
When he was in LA with his girl she would give him directions because he didn't know the streets. "I love you, take a right"
He goes on to say "10 and 2 are the loneliest sight." What he means here is that his hand are at 10 and 2 o'clock on the steering wheel. This is sad because he would usually be using one hand to steer and be holding hands with his girl.
Amazing skills by Mr. Mayer. Amazing music and words.
i definitely agree with you. i also think though, that when he says "the 10 and the 2 are the loneliest sight" its also like his hands are clenched on the steering wheel out of the frustration of the situation he's dealing with.

Actually ... time to head on over to mapquest ... HWY 10 and HWY 2 are the two highways that you need to get on to go to Hollywood Blvd, although your interpretation is convenient it doesn't really follow. "Taking a right" (his words) would only be the 2 o'clock direction on the steering wheel, not the 10, and even then you turn the steering wheel a lot further than 2 o'clock than to turn right. Nice idea though ... I'm always fascinated by how deep insights people can get from lyrics that the originator never anticipated.

Oops ... I now see what you mean by the 10 and 2 ... where you put your hands. Incidentally, people in LA (all my relatives live there) refer to HWY 10 and HWY 2 as "the 10" and "the 2", but whenever referring to hand placement it's always followed with the word "o'clock". The other is that JM said after breaking up with Simpson it had renewed meaning and added this last phrase. Guess where both Simpson and Hewitt live? Right ... you gotta take "the 10 and the 2" to get there.
