Bubble Toes

It’s as simple as something that nobody knows,
that her eyes are as big as her bubbly toes on the feet of a queen of the hearts
of the cards,
and her feet are all covered with tar balls and scars.
It’s a common as something that nobody knows,
that her beauty will follow wherever she goes,
up the hill in the back of her house in the woods.
She loves me forever, I know, she could.
I remember when, you and me, how we used to be just good friends,
wouldn’t give me none, but all I wanted was some.
She’s gotta whole lotta reasons she can’t think of a single one that can justify
leavin.
He got none but he thinks he got so many problems and he got too much time
to waste.
His dreams are like commercial but her dreams are picture perfect,
and our dreams are so related though they’re often underestimated.
It’s as simple as something that nobody knows that her eyes are as big as her
bubbly toes,
on the feet of a queen of the hearts of the cards,
and her feet are infested with tarballs.

Well I was eating lunch at the DLG when this little girl came and she sat next to
me.
Never seen nobody move like she did.
Well she did and she does and she’ll do it again.
When you move like a jellyfish rhythm don’t mean nothing you go with the flow,
you don’t stop.
Move like a jellyfish rhythm is nothing you go with the flow you don’t stop.

It’s as common as something that nobody knows,
that her beauty will follow wherever she goes,
up the hill in the back of her house in the woods.
She love me forever I know she...
If you would only listen you might just realize what you’re missing you’re
missing me.
If you would only listen you might just realize what you’re missing you’re
missing me.
Its as simple as something as something that nobody knows,
that her eyes are as big as her bubbly toes.
On the feet of a queen ,
of the hearts on the cards,
and her feet are infested with tarballs.

    My Interpretation:My thoughts here are that it's regarding a friend that he wants to be with, but she is with someone else. He's in love with her and perhaps her feelings are similar or something has begun happening between them (USED to be just good friends); Some simple, easy relationship where it's obvious that they should be together, but she can't think of a reason valid enough to leave her current situation. The comparison of his relationship with her (dreams are so related) and her current man (dreams are like commercials; impersonal, cold) is obvious; he's also got too much time to waste which may say that she is ignored in her relationship.

    I think the chorus describes his feelings for her (queen of his heart), he loves her from her eyes to her toes, but her feet are stuck where she is and can't move on, while her feet continue to collect scars from the person she is with presently.

    DLG verse seems to be a description of how they met but I could never really connect something to it.

    Kind of makes the "you're missing me" line tie it all together. Almost like a plea to her to leave her man. If it weren't for those tarballs...

    General Comment:"If you would only listen you might just realize what you're missing, you're missing me". The very definition of mis-communication.

    General Comment:Here's a quick Reference guide from JJ's time at UCSB.

    DLG = De La Guerra dining commons

    The "tar balls" refer to the tar stains you get from walking certain beaches at UCSB. In those lines he's saying she likes to spend a lot of time at the beach.

    General Comment:I read somewhere that he meet his wife at college in the dining hall, so maybe this could have something to do with the song.

    General Comment:well even if shes called bubble toes because they are fat,
    i like to think its kinda another thing to do with the beach,
    like when you sit on the shore and the bubbles wash over your feet.

    Song Meaning:Im thinking that this song is about a girl from his childhood, or a younger girl he has love for, like a niece or daughter. My favorite line is "if you move like a jellyfish, rythm mean nothin you go with the flow you don't stop"

    General Comment:For those not in the know: "DLG" refers to the common dining area on the UCSB campus in Santa Barbara. DLG is an acronym for De La Guerra which carries historical significance in the Santa Barbara area.
