Laetitia, you destroy me, so I
Can see why I feel so lonely
When you and me could be forever
Perfectly perfect together.
I know.

Broken down in my dead bedroom,
Stuttering to pictures of you.
I'm sure that you can always
See me.

I saw you staring through the
TV last night.
So I'll leave my door open all
Night, in case you decide you

Want to stop on by.
Because you got to know who's
Been singing that song on
The radio.

The one that goes...
My friends all call me crazy
Cause I stay up late anticipating,
And planning for the day I sweep
You off your feet, I'd never leave
You alone.

Laetitia, you got my hand shaking,
I'm begging you oh baby please
Stop breaking my heart because I
Got the feeling that you and I
Will never really get it on.

So I'll leave my door open all
Night in case you decide you want
To stop on by.
Because you got to know who's been

Singing that song on the radio.
The one that goes...
Girl, come to me.
The only broken-hearted lose
You'll ever need, or I'll be left
Alone forever with my magazines.

    General Comment:whaaat?
    has NO ONE spotted the Cure reference?
    "Stuttering to Pictures of You"?
    Pictures of You is a cracking song by the Cure.
    is he actually singing to/about Laetitia Casta? or is he using her as a kinda decoy? like instead of a girl he really knows who maybe reminds him of her because of her beauty?
    bleh who knows.
    i wanna ask Jesse so many questions!

    General Comment:These lyrics are amazing to me. He has so much longing for her. Possibly he wants to show her that he can sweep her away from the fame with his love? :] love it.

    General Comment:Its about masturbating to pictures of Laetitia, so both theories are correct.

    General Comment:After getting very very used to modern brand new, hearing songs like this again makes me smile. They're just cute. Such a transformation though... just through the lyrics you can hear Jessey growing up...

    yeah but obviosly this is about Jessey's fantasy about a victoria's secret model mentioned in the song again and again and again...
