Stay the Night Lyrics

Does it seem like the lyrics are reflective of the emotions and memories that are portrayed in the lyrics to "Haushinka" and "Whatsername"?

"I gotta know if you're the one that got away Even though it was never meant to be"

The above lyrics seem to piece with the following lyrics from the two other Green Day songs:

"Did she know, did she know, before she went away, does she know? But it's too damn late This girl has gone far away. Now she's gone." ("Haushinka")

"Seems that she disappeared with out a trace [and the entire song is about wondering about her]" ("Whatsername")

There seems to be this related lingering feeling of "What if...?" in some of these songs.

There's always that ONE person in our life where we can't help but wonder if things had gone differently because they've made so much of an impression on you...

It would make sense that these songs are related, but who knows for sure.

Song Comparison

You can add 'Amanda' from !Tre! to that list as well, which is probably the most blatant 'what if' song that Billie has written. He really does seem to write a lot about this girl. Apparently 'She' Is about the same girl too.
