And what's that saying again
They're only words
And words can't kill me
Well I can't even spell them
And the cadence
Of what she says is swell

Let's talk about spaceships
Or anything except you and me, okay?
Let's talk about spaceships
Or anything except you and me, okay?
Okay...

And don't look now
But there's a spider
Crawling on the wall behind you
Yep I should have paid attention
In algebra

Let's talk about spaceships
Or anything except you and me, okay?
Let's talk about spaceships
Or anything except you and me, okay?
Okay...

    General Comment:it's a song bout guy and girl who could have some future together but cos the other one is moving away they've no reason to talk about it. It'd just break both of them.

    The guy would really like to say how he feels about the girl and he tries to get the courage by saying to himself "they're only words and words can't kill me". Well, he won't say it cos "the cadence of what she says is swell" and the girl says:

    "let's talk about spaceships
    or anything except you and me, okay?"

    so they try to find something else to talk about, like the spider on the wall and algebra. :D

    Song Meaning:i think its about a guy who is crushing on one of his good friends whos a girl and instead of trying to talk to her about it and being rejected he just brings up irrelevent topics or maybe its after he get rejected that he still wats to remain freinds so to avoid saying anything else that could push her away he just talks about unimportant things

    General Comment:let's talk about spaceships, or anything except you and me. he could've just left it at that. but he adds "okay?" and that shows so much care. it's simple, but that's fine, because it has huge meaning. he wants to make sure it's okay with her, regardless of the fact that it's what he wants. or maybe he's not sure if he really doesn't want to talk about their relationship.

    General Comment:appears simple and boyish but his reasons for not wanting to talk about their relationship is complex, i'm sure

    General Comment:i feel like this is btwn a boy and girl, and they have a thing going on, but the boy doesn't want anything serious so he's all "uhmm change subject. spiders. spaceships. alliteration."

    y'know.

    General Comment:Well this kind of fits the situation that I'm in right now. I believe it's about liking someone who likes you back but you can't really talk about it, for any reason imagineable. For instance, you would just rather going on thinking what you believe the person feels rather than the truth.
