Bright just like the stars above me,
Proud just like my mother planned it,
Short on all the things I don't want
Full of love and longing.
Take me by the hand and tell me
You would take me anywhere.
Still, cause I don't want to move a thing,
And all the things I don't want they're full
Of love and longing
Take me by the hand and tell me
You would take me anywhere.
And it goes,
It's like a come on, come on to me
And it goes,
It's like a come on, come on to me.
You,
You say you don't see any part of me
To love in all this mess
And I know you take the good
And all the bad that comes with me.

    General Comment:I always loved how she's describing herself and pauses after she says "short"...hahaha
    she probably didn't do that on purpose but I still think it's funny xD
    (for those who don't know, tegan and sara are very short)

    General Comment:The singer is telling us basically all her good traits and how much she likes herself how she is; she wouldn’t change anything. However she really loves some girl and fully expects that they will end up together because she has so much pride in herself that she just assumes her own success.
    In the second verse she says that she doesn’t want to change (‘I don't want to move a thing’), and believes that they will work as is (‘I'm sure you'll fit right into me
    And all the things I don't want’). The ‘things’ she doesn’t want could be all the men who go after her, who might be just as full of ‘love and longing’ as her but she doesn’t desire them because of her sexuality.
    Not sure about the bridge, but I would guess that though the girl seems to be flirting with her she denies any attraction (‘you say you don't see any part of me
    To love in all this mess’).

    General Comment:I know how this is... it's like so many times in life I'm waiting for a person to just say to me "I want to run away with you, let's do this" ... but they never do. All I keep wondering is if I'll ever find someone who would take a chance on me, who'd put themselves on the line for ME instead of me always being the one who sacrifices everything and lays down on the tracks. When will someone do it for me?

    Full of love and longing... that's me in a nutshell.

    General Comment:"I'm full of love and longing"
    sums up how i think everyone feels
    When they are in love.
    the words are brief at first.
    but they mean a lot.
    or maybe thats just to me.
    because i feel like there is no better way
    to sum up how i feel right now;
    in love.
    and full of love and longing
