Lyrics for Break My Stride as interpreted by jeremy

Break My Stride Lyrics
Last night I had the strangest dream
I sailed away to China, in a little rowboat to find ya
And you said you had to get your laundry cleaned

Didn't want no one to hold you, what does that mean?
And you said:

Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride
Nobody's gonna slow me down, oh no
I got to keep on moving
Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride
I'm running and I won't touch ground, oh no
I got to keep on moving

You're on the road and now you pray it lasts
The road behind was rocky
But now you're feeling cocky
You look at me and then you see your past
Is that the reason why you're running so fast?
And she said:

(chorus)

Never let another girl like you work me over
Never let another girl like you drag me under
If I meet another girl like you, I will tell her
Never want another girl like you, have to say - oh!

(chorus)

fade out

yeah I remember this song from back in the day too...even tho that was only a little way back lol. I always get this song in my head when I'm in a bad mood (well that or Raindrops Are Falling on my Head). The chorus just makes me think that I have to go forward and forget stupid mistakes along the way.

How many times has one had a crazy dream which makes us think when we're awake?

I like that paragraph which opens the song, and the rest of the lyrics give an optimistic message. All of that make this a song which I love to listen to. It stays in your head... and in your heart.

i think this song is about him have the green apple splatters and trying to get to a toilet before he messes his close up again...

The song is about the guy's girlfriend breaking up with him. She makes a clean break from him and moves on nicely. He then does the same thing. The chorus applies to her at first, and then later to him. Even though it's about breaking up, it has a very positive message -- for both characters. Plus it's just so freaking catchy. :)

This is definately a song you want to be stuck in your head. I always find myself walking confidently with a 'look out world' smile on my face after listening to it; a must have!

This song was described as "a gift to myself" by Matthew Wilder in an interview with People Magazine. How he never had any support in the music industry and was turned away by everything. I think this song was a big confidence booster for Wilder to continue taking on the music world during the roughest of times. Little did he know that it would become a very successful single and a very catchy tune that a lot of people would associate with the 1980s in the decades to come.

Silentexclamation, I would have to say I finish the song with the same smile. I love listening to it. It does not matter what kind of mood I'm in, I feel much better after listening.
