Lyrics for Antonia as interpreted by blinxbcr

Antonia Lyrics
She makes a lot of abstract art
She haggles for the cheapest price
She never orders take-out food before 10 o'clock at night

She's really into snowmobiles
She owns a lot of nice flashlights
She cares for all the stupid cats that never found their way home

She shaves her legs with Ginsu knives
She quotes a lot of Annie Hall
She misplaced her virginity back in 1995
She's what's keeping me alive
She's the pizza of my eye
Without her near me I would not survive

It gets cold when she's not around
I float until I sink and I'm swallowed up
It's so cold when she's not around
I wait for her to come home and tell me I'll be fine

She's always eating Captain Crunch
She's sings a lot of Ben Folds Five
She's scared to death of cobra snakes just like Indiana Jones

She tells the dumbest knock-knock jokes
She drinks a lot of chardonnay
She hates the way I comb my hair
But she married me last June
She was the bride, I was the groom
I cried a lot and then we spooned
Without her in my life I would be doomed

It gets cold when she's not around
I float until I sink and I'm swallowed up
It's so cold when she's not around
I wait for her to come home and tell me I'll be fine
Tell me I'll be fine

She loves the smell of Christmas trees
She sneezes when she sees bright lights
She fainted on the kitchen floor
When her father passed away
Our baby girl is due this May
And when the little lady grows up,
I hope that she will be just like her mother

I love this song.

Haha I'm always reminded of that song... "Wouldn't It Be Good"

Plus, mentioning Ben Folds = instant win

"without her in my life, i would be doomed"

thats lovely, makes you think that even if things didn't work out he would still be happy to just have her as a friend.

anyone know what justin's ex-girlfriend's name is?
becuase i feel like every song on this album is about her in some way, shape, or form and i think this might be her name?
i don't know i couldn't find anything about her online, but that doesn't mean nobody knows.

but anyways i really like this song.
it reminds me a lot of the future freaks me out becuase it's about a girl and all these traits she has... plus i love all of the really random lines justin puts in here. only real mcs songs have at least one of those.
i think my favorite line in this song is "she misplaced her virginity in 1995".

i don't think justin wrote this one. one of the other band members (who i can't remember) got married awhile ago and i'm pretty positive that he wrote this. justin's not married as far as i know?

His ex-girlfriends name was kari not antonia and the only guy in the band that's married is josh and his wifes name is jill.
But i mean, that's not to say this song isn't about one of them.

"As far as lyrically, Justin does all of that. I believe he likes to say that its fifty percent fiction and fifty percent true. He would much rather write something with an interesting story and make half of it up, than write something that’s completely real and boring. But it’s all in his head; whatever he can think of is what ends up on there."

- Jesse

So I figure Justin's writing about stuff that did happen, stuff that he's reminiscing about this girl, or a girl at least, but adding in stuff that obviously didn't happen, or is happening to his peers (Josh got married)

there was a film that came out in 1995 called antonia...i wonder if that has anything to do with this song or if it's just a coincidence

When I was first half-listening to this song, that the awkward pause after the final line symbolizes that he's pulling a "Stacey's Mom" on us all, because I didn't tie it in to the previous line. Ah well. I thought it was funny.

There are lyrics in this song that are really awkward, so it's not my favorite, but there are some great lines, too, so it balances out.

I couldn't make the last part of the song , now that I see that's about her future baby, this song became a perfect 10 ..

This song speaks to me so much, about the quirks that make you fall in love with someone, and the love that gets you through the day.. wonderful.

Quixentric: If I understand you correctly, you're saying that at the end of the song Justin is saying that he wants his daughter to grow up to be like her mom so that he would be attracted to her? I find that more than a little disturbing.

That happens to be one of my favorite lines in this song. I think he's saying that when his daughter grows up, he wants her to be slightly quirky like her mother, so that she's different and stands out. I think it's a really cute line.

The perfect love song. He loves all of her eccentricities, and she takes him for who he is.

She hates the way I comb my hair
But she married me last June

I love that part. sigh.
