Losing a Whole Year Lyrics

Cover art for Losing a Whole Year lyrics by Third Eye Blind

I watched a documentary on Third Eye Blind.

The singer said the song was about a boy and girl who were together. They started out in love, but she never knew what real love was, because she hadn't grew up with love. Her dad bought her, "love". So, she starts a life with this boy, and they break up within a year, because she changes. She's not the sweet girl he once knew. She starts hanging around other people, and taking meds, but they used to spend their time together. The singer specifically states (in the interview, part of the documentary) that the part in the song that says, "I Took your stuff and put it in the basement ,When I found out what the smile on your face meant, I've seen you pop that check , Craning your neck at my car wreck" means that he put her stuff away, because she was never there, and she got the check from her father, so she smiles cause now that she has money, she's leaving again, and says the "car wreck" he is referring to is their break-up. Because he lost her, she doesn't love him anymore.
