Are you frightened by the weight you possess oh
Is this life just weightlessness
The smoggy twilight in LA
I can't think of one real thing to say
And you and me are walking in the canyons
She forgets that we were friends
I guess it all depends on your mood
Why can't these meds be any damn good
And she said
Why can't you be
Like my waterpik shower massager
A sweet reliable machine
And to tell the truth I don't feel less alone
A water massager's is the purest love I've ever known
Why can't you be
Like when I was thirteen
And I said:
Why can't you be
Like an art house foreign movie
Frank and sexy, red balloons and ennui
And allude to me
And why can't you be
A little more of a mystery
Why can't you be
The part of me that's missing
Instead of leaving me for some other
Said we're perfect for each other
And I know we wont go spend this life alone.
And she said:
Why can't you be
Like an outsourced government contract
I'm a fat cat gettin' away with anything
Kicking some secret special powers
Illumination rounds in showers
Cause your tearing your hair out
While we can have a bed of flowers
And I said
Why can't you be
Like the chicks out of the road
Some girls are happy just to see me
Because you got moxie and a broken nose
Take him away from this prose
Sometimes a blowjob's not enough
Why can't you play
A little less rough
Why can't you be
The part of me that's missing
Instead of leaving me for some other
Say we're perfect for each other
And I know we wont go spend this life alone
Can we... just leave it be
We could live... our lives... separately
Could you forget... what happens to you
To you and me
When we're dead... and we'll be dead
We'll have eternity
And I will spend it all... missing you
Seeing you with me
So while I'm alive... I will always be
Seeking you out
Digging you out
Wondering about how it goes so far down
And what's wrong with you
What's wrong with you and me.
And she said:
Why can't you be
Someone lookin' a little deeper into me
Like JD Salinger
Why do I challenge her
In all these surface ways
That you displease
Why can't you be
A little more at ease
well why can't you be
Like a hand rolled cigarette
I'm not joking
This masochistic self-pity of smoking
And this city ditty
I keep provoking you to leave me
And she said
Why can't you be
Like a candle I can snuff
You're still a diamond in the rough
And I swear to god I've had enough
How can I call your bluff?
Is this life just weightlessness
The smoggy twilight in LA
I can't think of one real thing to say
And you and me are walking in the canyons
She forgets that we were friends
I guess it all depends on your mood
Why can't these meds be any damn good
And she said
Why can't you be
Like my waterpik shower massager
A sweet reliable machine
And to tell the truth I don't feel less alone
A water massager's is the purest love I've ever known
Why can't you be

"how can I call your bluff?" How can I end it.
didn't really resemble the old third eye blind- in my opinion.
But listening to it more, its still them. And bits a pieces of
the lyrics are really good, reminds me some things, someone.
[When we're dead... and we'll be dead
We'll have eternity
And I will spend it all... missing you
Seeing you with me
So while I'm alive... I will always be
Seeking you out
Digging you out
Wondering about how it goes so far down
And what's wrong with you
What's wrong with you and me.]
My take:
The girl didn't want to be with him any longer.
The male thought, and still thinks, they were the perfect couple, even though he wishes she possessed qualities she doesn't have. He wants her to be someone she's not. He's missing something in his life, thought she filled that hole, and has realized over time that isn't true. However, he wishes she were different and fit the part that he's missing since she is the closest he's come to fixing himself and feeling good.
Now, he's on medication in attempt to feel good, but it isn't working. So, he'll miss her for the rest of his life because she was the only one to ever fill the part of him that's missing, even if it was temporarily.
i heard this song, and it made me so much happier. it summed everything up for me. i think this song is about two people in a relationship where things weren't bad. they enjoyed each others company. but, eventually, you get to know someone a little better as time goes by, and he wasn't what she wanted. i think the female in the relationship just didn't want to be in it anymore. they could have been great, that's what signals him to say he's always going to be seeking her out, digging her out. he feels it could have been great, wondering what had ever happened. she's tearing her hair out when he knows that they could have an easy life. random girls like his company, why doesn't she?
but, time moves on, and he realizes this. knowing he's got tons of feelings for her, he knows they're perfect for each other, but if he can't have her, he'll definitely have someone else (i know we won't spend this life alone)
amazing song
