Cover art for Stealing Tomorrow lyrics by Great Lake Swimmers

some lyrics are slightly incorrect...the 1st verse is "WHY can't I feel, mean without you?", the 3rd verse is, "And i built this WALL around me"...and the last verse is,

'Cause i can't be sober and win you over And relate my temperature I have to get out of here And you don't even know half of it I cannot turn it off, I don't have a switch for that I haven't crash landed yet, haven't crash landed yet Stealing tomorrow from today

This is one of my favourite songs, the sound and words are beautiful. I believe this song is about not being able to become close to anyone in a relationship and buliding walls to keep people out...and it's like no one can understand this problem or attempt to stay long enough to make the walls crumble. "Why can't I feel, mean without you?" is such a beautiful line, because this person can't ask his or herself why they cannot feel without someone else trying to make them feel...feeling is meaningless without someone.
