You had time
How can I go home
With nothing to say
I know you're going to look at me that way
And say what did you do out there
And what did you decide
You said you needed time
And you had time
You are a china shop
And I am a bull
You are really good food
And I am full
I guess everything is timing
I guess everything's been said
So I am coming home with an empty head
You'll say did they love you or what
I'll say they love what I do
The only one who really loves me is you
And you'll say girl did you kick some butt
And I'll say I don't really remember
But my fingers are sore
And my voice is too
You'll say it's really good to see you
You'll say I missed you horribly
You'll say let me carry that
Give that to me
And you will take the heavy stuff
And you will drive the car
And I'll look out the window and make jokes
About the way things are
How can I go home
With nothing to say
I know you're going to look at me that way
And say what did you do out there
And what did you decide
You said you needed time
And you had time
How can I go home
With nothing to say
I know you're going to look at me that way
And say what did you do out there
And what did you decide
You said you needed time
And you had time
You are a china shop
And I am a bull
You are really good food
And I am full
I guess everything is timing
I guess everything's been said
So I am coming home with an empty head
You'll say did they love you or what
I'll say they love what I do
The only one who really loves me is you
And you'll say girl did you kick some butt
And I'll say I don't really remember
But my fingers are sore
And my voice is too
You'll say it's really good to see you
You'll say I missed you horribly
You'll say let me carry that
Give that to me
And you will take the heavy stuff
And you will drive the car
And I'll look out the window and make jokes
About the way things are
How can I go home
With nothing to say
I know you're going to look at me that way
And say what did you do out there
And what did you decide
You said you needed time
And you had time

But to me it's also very much about a friend I have who I've fallen out with. The lines
You are a chinashop and I am a bull
You are really good food and I am full
It doesn't mean you don't love someone or appreciate them... you might just need time on your own.
I feel so bad for the person who she's coming home to. They didn't do anything wrong. It's just done. :(
you'll say, "i missed you horribly."
you'll say, "let me carry that,
"give that to me."
and you will take the heavy stuff
and you will drive the car......
its just such a great image.
a person can only be so patient..
she's amazing.
most of us were in that position: "i need time to think it over"... i hate to hear that, haven't heard it often and never said it... what exactly do they need? time or the process of thinking? it's mostly none of them...
Anyway - this song is a great song from a great film. great songs make you empathize with the writer/singer & this one does just that..."what did you do out there...what did you decide...you said you needed time, you had time" i like that a lot. it says ''you wanted this time apart to think through things...well, what have you come up with....do you want to be with me or not....do you love me or not...or is love enough?"
