Breakfast At Tiffany's Lyrics

Lyric discussion by alumnae 

Cover art for Breakfast At Tiffany's lyrics by Deep Blue Something

It's obviously about a relationship going south. But it's one sided on the decision to end it.

"You'll say we've got nothing in common No common ground to start And we're falling apart You'll say the world has come between us Our lives have come between us"

The other person keeps claiming it can't work, but according to the singer

"I know you just don't care"

According to the lyrics it seems like the relationship use to be very good

"I see you the only one who knew me"

And the chorus: "And I said what about Breakfast at Tiffany's She said I think I remember the film As I recall I think we both kinda liked it Then I said well then that's one thing we got"

as silly as the chorus is it seems to me like he is willing to work on the relationship because he knows it will work so he attempts something as silly and feeble as a bond over a movie.

I think it is also a jab at the other person, since they claim they have nothing in common he pulls up one quick reference and suddenly they have something. And it certainly can't be the only thing. It's as if the other person believes they have nothing in common, but it's more than likely because they don't want to try.

"And I know you just don't care"

My Interpretation

This is so awesome... just wanted to add that she's making up all these excuses because she knows him well and she doesn't want to get hurt but she loves him so much that she agrees on that lil thing just because she also loves him very much?

@alumnae I really wish I could see this song as you and @CV4ever see it. I really enjoy the song and would like to think it is about the two reconciling. Of course that is the wonderful thing about music, different people will interpret it as they will.
