Personal Lyrics
Wanted: single F
Under 33 Must enjoy the sun Must enjoy the sea Sought by single M Mrs. Destiny Send photo to address Is it you and me? Reply to single M: My name is Caroline Cell phone number here Call if you have the time 28 and bored Grieving over loss Sorry to be heavy But heavy is the cost Heavy is the cost Reply to Caroline: Thanks so much for response These things can be scary Not always what you want How about a drink? This ancient club at noon I'll phone you first I guess I hope I see you soon I never got your name I assume you're 33 Your voice, it sounded kind I hope that you like me When you see my face I hope that you don't laugh I'm not a film star beauty I'll send a photograph I hope that you don't laugh Note to single M: Why did you not show up? I waited for an hour I finally gave up I thought once that I saw you I thought that you saw me I guess we'll never meet now It wasn't meant to be It wasn't mean to be I was sure you saw me But it wasn't meant to be Wanted: single F Under 33 Must enjoy the sun Must enjoy the sea Sought by single M Nothing too heavy Send photo to address Is it you or me? Is it you or me? Is it you or me? Is it you or me?

Maybe this is obvious, but i think it has a double meaning. The first is that it relates to the beginning when she says "sorry to be heavy, but heavy is the cost". The guy doesn't want someone with that much emotional baggage (she's grieving) so in the new ad he says so. The second meaning to "nothing too heavy" is that when she sends him the picture, he sees that she is overweight and so he doesn't show up because of it and hence the addition to the new ad. maybe thats too literal? just my take on it.

I think it's just emotional baggage, really.
If he didn't want someone overweight, he'd just be straight forward and say "sup, no fattiezzzz!!1 kthx"
Hehe! Lovely song! ;]

in my opinion, I don't think that it's so much a reflection of the woman's thoughts as j2los suggested, especially since Torquil is singing the line. it seemed to me to be his question to himself as he ponders why he couldn't go through with the initial date. maybe he's wondering if, instead of it being some fault on the woman's part (either emotional or physical), it could be some weakness on his part. and since he hinted at some previous experience with these sorts of things in the third verse ("these things can be heavy..."), maybe this isn't the first time this has happened to him.
I think the line brings a hidden emotional depth to the male character in the song, in subtle way that Stars often do. and it's a great contrast between the woman and the man - while she puts herself and her emotions completely out there, he has hidden them all away.
orrr, maybe he's just an asshole. great song anyway.

she believes that he was there and left because of her imperfections but in all actuality he didn't show up at all because of his apprehension.

"i was sure you saw me
but it wasn't meant to be"
notice that that was just music for awhile after she sent him her picture. that could be a hint that he never replied back to her after he saw the picture. at the end, he was looking for another date and now he changed the age up to 33 and added "nothing too heavy"...maybe she was heavy.

I think pretty much everyone who has given their opinion so far is correct. The woman is probably overweight, and self conscious about her phsyical flaws. She thinks it was her fault. The man has deeper emotional problems ("nothing to heavy"...) and there is a good chance that it was his fault that their attempt failed as well.
This question finishes the song, and the listener is left to wonder which character is to blame, but there is no answer.
I'd guess that this song applies to most ppl's lives, in whatever relationship problems they are having. It is personal (like the title), and the terms "you" and "me" kind of make you put it in your own situation. :) I'm a fan.

I don't think it has ANYTHING to do with being fat...definitely with what somebody said earlier, about emotional baggage. That being said, I don't know why he didn't show up, maybe he did and just saw it in her eyes? But I don't think they'd write about that in the song, it's the Stars for goodness sake. That'd be pretty tasteless, albeit realistic. I mean after all, they did write "One More Night"...lol.

And for myself i'm gonna go with agreeing with this:
"i agree with sleeptonight. i would like to believe that he didn't even show up. It wasn't because of a fault of hers, it was a flaw of his.
she believes that he was there and left because of her imperfections but in all actuality he didn't show up at all because of his apprehension."
Maybe in his time between the letters he thought more and more about her saying she's [emotionally] heavy, and how he pry had a prior experience dealing with such things like someone said before, and decided he didn't want to go through something like that again.

My advice for the man venturing into the dating scene is that he must put himself out there despite the emotional baggage and fears of getting hurt. Why bother going about it otherwise? In this aspect the woman is stronger than the man because she seemed to understand this--and brave enough to meet him in person despite her own insecurities.

He replies to her AFTER she said she had emotional baggage because he didn't really care and ends it when he sees her photo.
She became heavy when she was depressed and weight gain is the cost of grieving. Notice how he doesn't talk about himself because he doesn't want a relationship. He doesn't ask much in his ad neither besides a picture because he is shallow. He then blows her off and makes another ad with "no fatties pls"
