Things You Say Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Fionn 

Cover art for Things You Say lyrics by Sleater-Kinney

"but I’ll breathe the air I’ll stop the clock I’ll touch the sky and say what I want"

This is my favorite part of the song; it really captures the essence of living honestly and individually (which I believe is a main theme of the song). You take a deep breath, and time freezes as you offer up that unpopular opinion or state the facts no one wants to deal with.

It makes me feel so strong.
