What's your idea of a really fun afternoon, daytime kinda date?
Oh, I'd just like to, you know,
spend some time with you, I think that's the main thing.
You seem like kind of a hard egg but I think I could crack you. Cracker? Cracker? Cracker?
God, you're...I can't wait to get back to you! Bachelor #1, what's your favourite colour and why?
I’m taking a ride off to one side
It is a personal thing.
Where?
When I can’t stand up in this cage I’m not regretting.
I don’t need a better thing
I’d settle for less
It’s another thing for me
I just have to wander through this world alone.
Stop before you fall
Into the hole that I have dug here
Rest even as you
Are starting to feel the way I used to
I don’t need a better thing
Just to sound confused
Don’t talk about everyone
I am not amused by you.
Cos I’m gonna lose ya
Yes I’m gonna lose ya
If I’m gonna lose ya
Cos I’m gonna lose ya
Yes I’m gonna lose ya
If I’m gonna lose ya
I’ll lose you now for good.
Hi, bachelor #1, I'm a really fun-loving person.
If you were a Mac lipstick colour, what would you be?
I would be brown like the earth.
A good solid earth tone, but you shouldn't wear so much make-up, you harpy.
You're funny! You use big words.
Oh, I'd just like to, you know,

i wasnt ready for college when i graduated high school. some things happened and i wasn't in a healthy state of mind when i left home for school, hundreds of miles away from my family and friends. suicidal thought and depression were not as unusual as i would have preferred. and when you have so many expectations on you its like all you can do is hold on. after four long years i knew that all i was doing was just digging my hole deeper and deeper. it was scary when i told my family and friends back home that i wouldn't be graduating, and yes there were some sighs and looks of disappointment, but at that point i couldn't care less. it might be selfish but for the first time in years i was free. i lost friends from it but now i realize that those people were never friends to begin with if your friendship hinged entirely on expectancies instead of anything meaningful. i feel so much better now and its like instead of failure or defeat i've simply closed an ugly chapter in my life. i like where i'm at now. i have my family and friends and an okay 40hr a week job but that doesn't matter. i'm happy and i feel better. when i wake up there isn't this pressure on my shoulders and this hollowing feeling in my gut. i wake up and i'm smiling. when i'm ready i will go back because an education is important. until then i'll settle for less =}
good song
gettinghitonattheban - that's the meaning i got out of the song when i saw it on house too.
i think he's disappointed in the way his life has turned out and what he's become. i think that he thought his life would've been very different. maybe he's turned into someone very shallow and very materialistic and he's realizing that that is no way to live. 'dont talk about everyone, i am not amused by you.'
in a weird way, it almost sounds like he's relieved when he's says 'i'm gonna lose you, yeah i'm gonna lose you. if i'm gonna lose you, i'll lose you now for good.'. i think he's finally learned that he has to start over. that he has to let go of the life he's created for himself and start a new one.
its a very sad, powerful song but i think that there's much more to it then he's getting out a relationship or a break up.
Simple Explanation
Episode 520 : 2009-04-06
It played as everyone tried to come to terms with their associate's suicide.
In that context - it seemed as though Kutner just had to leave them - to go away on his own.
He wasn't looking for something better - he just needed to go - and in his leaving, he was saying..
"I'm gonna lose you.... now for good...."
Love the song. So sad
"I don't need a better thing, I'd settle for less."
and
"I don't need a better thing, just to sound confused."
I thought, that usually happens when you fall in love. The person isn't what you hope/wish he'd be at all. He just becomes necessary for you to love however that person really is.
This song, yeah, most probably about a breakup. But the structures of how a relationship is, is there.
The way Pete Yorn sings it, it's as if he still loves her, but has to accept her decision. He would be happy with the relationship otherwise. He doesn't want anything 'better' (else) just the way it was.
