See there run away you said
To go you were it, you were it
To lay underneath the red sky there
To lay under her, I want her there

See you there, under her, and under
To go you were there and I'm slow
To lay over her and I'm slow, oh
To lay under her, I've grown away, oh

    Song Meaning:I always thought this song was about how getting a boner at the sight of your girl.

    Hell, you know, MBV have always been about sex.

    General Comment:I would agree that this is about being tired of being with someone. That short "rusty" sounding melody (if that makes sense to anybody) seems to fit with that idea.

    General Comment:I think (other than Sometimes) this is my favourite off of Loveless. Excellent song and album.

    The last few minutes of the song is awesome. Man, I remember the first time hearing it. *goes back in time*
