Think I'm going for a walk now
I feel a little unsteady
I don't want no one to follow me
Except maybe you
I could make you happy, you know
If you weren't already
I could do a lot of things
And I do
Tell you the truth I prefer the worst of you
Too bad you had to have a better half
She's not really my type
But I think you two are forever
And I hate to say it, but you're perfect together
So fuck you
And your untouchable face
Fuck you
For existing in the first place
And who am I
That I should be vying for your touch
Who am I
Bet you can't even tell me that much
2:30 in the morning
My gas tank will be empty soon
Neon sign on the horizon
Rubbing elbowes with the moon
Safe haven of the sleepless
Where the deep fryer's always on
Radio is counting down top 20 country songs
Out on the porch the fly strip is
Waving like a flag in the wind
You know I really don't look forward
To seeing you again
You look like a photograph of yourself
Taken from far far away
And I won't know what to do
And I won't know what to say
Except fuck you
I see you when I'm so perplexed
What was I thinking
What will I think of next
Where can I hide
In the back room there's a lamp
That hangs over the pool table
And the fan that's on it swings
Gently side to side
There's a changing constellation
Of balls as we are playing
I see Orion and say nothing
The only thing I can think of saying is
Fuck you
I feel a little unsteady
I don't want no one to follow me
Except maybe you
I could make you happy, you know
If you weren't already
I could do a lot of things
And I do
Tell you the truth I prefer the worst of you
Too bad you had to have a better half
She's not really my type
But I think you two are forever
And I hate to say it, but you're perfect together
So fuck you
And your untouchable face
Fuck you
For existing in the first place
And who am I
That I should be vying for your touch
Who am I
Bet you can't even tell me that much
2:30 in the morning
My gas tank will be empty soon
Neon sign on the horizon
Rubbing elbowes with the moon
Safe haven of the sleepless
Where the deep fryer's always on
Radio is counting down top 20 country songs
Out on the porch the fly strip is
Waving like a flag in the wind
You know I really don't look forward
To seeing you again
You look like a photograph of yourself
Taken from far far away
And I won't know what to do
And I won't know what to say
Except fuck you
I see you when I'm so perplexed
What was I thinking
What will I think of next
Where can I hide
In the back room there's a lamp
That hangs over the pool table
And the fan that's on it swings
Gently side to side
There's a changing constellation
Of balls as we are playing
I see Orion and say nothing
The only thing I can think of saying is
Fuck you

Loving him is the best thing that's ever happened to me so I'm glad we both have such trust for each other.
"Tell you the truth, I prefer the worst of you
Too bad you had to have a better half
She's not really my type
But I think you two are forever
And I hate to say it but you're perfect together"
She never liked the "good" side of me. She always liked it when I was angry or we were fighting. She didn't prefer the "better half" of me.
This song is good. I like the lyrics and the meaning.
I feel a little unsteady
I don't want no one to follow me
Except maybe you
I could make you happy, you know
If you weren't already
I could do a lot of things
And I do"
--- Obviously they're friends. She wants to be more then a friend, but he's in a relationship.
"Tell you the truth, I prefer the worst of you
Too bad you had to have a better half
She's not really my type
But I think you two are forever
And I hate to say it but you're perfect together"
--- She wants to the worst in him, so that she can not want him as much as she does. She wants him to make her hate him.
--- She's not too keen on the girl he's with; she's jealous of her because she wants him to be hers and because they're a happy couple.
"So fuck you
And your untouchable face
Fuck you
For existing in the first place
And who am I
That I should be vying for your touch?
Who am I?
Bet you can't even tell me that much"
--- She's saying "fuck you" out of frustration. She wants him so bad, but he's not free. She's angry and is taking it out on him for even being alive. She's asking herself who is she to want him so much; he's not hers to have. And then asking again who is she, and then wondering if he even knows who she is anymore, because he's too occupied with the lady in his life.
"2:30 in the morning

Waving like a flag in the wind
You know I really don't look forward

I won't know what to say"
--- She tried to occupy her mind wit the things around her, but then she starts thinking about him again. He's her friend, and she doesn't look forward to having to hang out him. She's hiding her feelings for him, and all she wants to do is tell him how she feels, but she can't so again she's upset and frustrated with having to hold it all in and pretend like nothing's there.
"See you and I'm so perplexed
What was I thinking?
What will I think of next?
Where can I hide?
In the back room there's a lamp
That hangs over the pool table
And when the fan is on it swings
Gently side to side
There's a changing constellation
Of balls as we are playing
I see Orion and say nothing
The only thing I can think of saying is fuck you. . . ."
--- They're hanging out and she starts thinking about how she feels about him, asking herself why, and how could she let herself fall for a friend that is already in a relationship. She wants to get out of his sight, to not be around him because she feels so emotional when she sees him. She tries to think about other things while they are playing pool, great things, but she can't concentrate to talk about anything else with him; all she wants to do is tell him how she feels, but she can't so again she's frustrated and can't stop thinking about how upset she is about not being able to have him. She blames him for not being able to see how she feels, and blames him for being in a relationship. So fuck you for being so great, fuck you for not being free, fuck you for being so blind that you can't see that I want you, fuck you for being happy with someone else, when I can make you just as happy , and fuck you for being my friend in such a way that I can not help but have you in my life.
The ultimate in unrequited love.
She was given an opening by this other person, there was a chance that they could have had a relationship. But the other person chose their existing partner.
And it hurts.
this is a song I listen to and just shake my head at the absurdity of my (and everyone's) emotions.
I think it's about a relationship in general where you want what you can't have. And you still talk to the peson and still have a relationship with them but it's not exactly what you want.
This is just a perfect explanation of what's going on in my head when it comes to that one guy. It's so spot on it's freaking amazing.
You know I really don't look forward
To seeing you again soon
You look like a photograph of yourself
Taken from far, far away
I won't know what to do
I won't know what to say
So fuck you
And your untouchable face
&
See you and I'm so perplexed
What was I thinking?
What will I think of next?
Where can I hide?
Those are my favorite parts because she's saying she knows she shouldn't see this person (she doesn't look forward to it) and i take it as... she doesn't want to see the person because it's going to bring back all of the old feelings that she had in the beginning but she still goes and see's the person because she never REALLY got over it. And then when she she's the person she get's so confused as to why in the world she would have allowed herself to bring back all of the emotions and she just wants to go hide
I love this song so much I can't even explain it.
