Billy Joel – She's Got A Way Lyrics 18 years ago
Yes, starfly, it was written for Elizabeth, his first wife.

I love this song! As always, Billy Joel takes feelings and translates them into song so eloquently (both lyrically and musically).

Dave Matthews Band – Dreamgirl Lyrics 19 years ago
It seems to me like the "dream girl" and the "best friend" are two different girls since he says "I was dreaming of A dream girl...." not "I was dreming of you, my dream girl...."

The first verse seems to be talking about love being strong enough to change the world.

The next verse/chorus is pretty straight-forward. They get drunk, fall asleep, he dreams of a dream girl, they wake up, then make love.

The park verse is odd because it seems like he doesn't know her since he "feels like a creep." Or maybe he feels funny thinking about her naked because she's his "best friend" (although they make love, so he sees her naked then...).

The "caught by a wave" part is saying she is always doing something to surprise him- he's caught off guard.

It's a catchy little song- fun to hear in concert!

Dave Matthews Band – Stolen Away on 55th and 3rd Lyrics 19 years ago
Actually on Sirius, Dave said he imagined running into an old friend.. not that he actually did. :)

But I agree: It's about when someone meant a lot to you at one point in your life, then you lose touch, and when you see them again all those feelings come flooding back as if nothing has changed (at least for you).

The nervousness/hesistation in his voice is probably because he's not sure if she still feels the same way.

Dave Matthews Band – Stay or Leave Lyrics 19 years ago
it's also about taking that person/love for granted. you think they'll always be there, and then one day they're not, and you don't know what to do w/ yourself. your whole life revolved around them (not in a bad way). but he's not mad about the breakup. it's like when you know it's gonna happen but you don't want it to. but it should. he can still remember the good times. "better to have loved and lost than to not have loved at all." def one of my favs from some devil.

Dave Matthews Band – Some Devil Lyrics 19 years ago
i think it's about losing love. it's also about taking that person for granted. you think they'll always be there, and then one day they're not. that emptiness that follows the loss is almost overwhelming.

Dave Matthews Band – Little Thing Lyrics 19 years ago
there aren't any correct lyrics b/c dave sang it differently each time.

the song is about seeing someone but only after they're gone you realize how hot they were. you want to go after them, but by then they are lost in the crowd. you can't get them out of your head, although you probably won't ever see them again. you dream about how good it would have been with that person. it's torture. most of us can relate i think.
