standing on the edge of morning
scent of sex and new found glory
playing as she's pulling back her hair
she drives away
she's feeling worthless
used again but nothing's different
she stayed the night
but knows he doesn't care
home by three
deafening quiet
the porch light's off
yes they forgot it
she'd cry herself to sleep
but she don't dare
then she wants to be a model
she wants to hear she's beautiful
she's beautiful
i want to save you
i want to save you
i need you
save me too
i want to save you
dressed by dawn and out the door
no light
she memorized the floor
so she could leave without being detected
she works till three
it's uniform
she dreams that he'll come by the store
she prays for days
the boys mean she's protected
and she wants someone to see her
she needs to hear she's beautiful
she's beautiful
i want to save you
i want to save you
i need you
save me too
i want to save you
and she won't sleep
she won't sleep
and she won't sleep
at all
i want to save you
i want to save you
i need you
save me too
i want to save you
(let me save you)
i want to save you
(let me save you)
i want to save you
(let me save you)
i want to save you
scent of sex and new found glory
playing as she's pulling back her hair
she drives away
she's feeling worthless
used again but nothing's different
she stayed the night
but knows he doesn't care
home by three
deafening quiet
the porch light's off
yes they forgot it
she'd cry herself to sleep
but she don't dare
then she wants to be a model
she wants to hear she's beautiful
she's beautiful
i want to save you
i want to save you
i need you
save me too
i want to save you
dressed by dawn and out the door
no light
she memorized the floor
so she could leave without being detected
she works till three
it's uniform
she dreams that he'll come by the store
she prays for days
the boys mean she's protected
and she wants someone to see her
she needs to hear she's beautiful
she's beautiful
i want to save you
i want to save you
i need you
save me too
i want to save you
and she won't sleep
she won't sleep
and she won't sleep
at all
i want to save you
i want to save you
i need you
save me too
i want to save you
(let me save you)
i want to save you
(let me save you)
i want to save you
(let me save you)
i want to save you

Also, the girl doesn't have to be a whore, or slut, or anything. I get the feeling that she's just... lost. Looking for something better than the day-to-day but heartbreakingly settles for who she thinks is the only person to give her the time of day, even if only for a few hours/minutes/whatever per night. Like being stuck in a permanent state of the very moment you sigh and think, "Is this really all there is?"
I gather that she sneaks home late and leaves early because where she lives, although it's her home, doesn't feel much like it. She feels like her family doesn't understand her and so she avoids them, avoids the look in their eyes that begs the question, "What are you looking for?" Because if you look at her, it's written all over her face. This girl is living the life of a ghost, and doesn't see how it can be any different, but hopes one day it is.
And yes I got all that out of a song. Maybe a little rant about my life too.
she's feeling worthless
used again but nothing's different
she stayed the night
but knows he doesn't care
^^ so much said in a few lines.
she'd cry herself to sleep
but she don't dare
then she wants to be a model
she wants to hear she's beautiful
^^ this one too.
I was obsessed with it in 2004, when I was 14 and I still love it now, as a 19 year old.
I feel like I went through the past few years just like the girl in the song
"she works till three
it's uniform
she dreams that he'll come by the store"
She secretly knows a guy like that won't come by the store to see her at work, but daydreaming about it gets her through her day.
"then she wants to be a model
she wants to hear she's beautiful
she's beautiful"
This reminds me of the quote "Do you love me because I'm beautiful, or am I beautiful because you love me?"
I feel like this girl is gorgeous, but she really needs to hear it. She doesn't love herself enough, because she goes around sleeping with so many guys. But she really just wants someone who loves her to call her beautiful. Perhaps she can only fully love herself unless some guy actually loves her.
This song is perfect.
listen to it every night!
gotta love something corporate!
..junk

this is most def about someone that doesnt feel like anyone cares and she wants to be saved. to me its like someone that is in love with them singing it to them. something corporate is so adorable and soothing. this song in particular

"she dreams that he'll come by the store
she prays for days
the boys mean she's protected"
she knows shes getting hurt by boys
the songs about a boy who realizes this and he wants to be the guy who changes everything for her.. someone who wants to hear shes beautiful and thinks shes perfect the way she is:
"then she wants to be a model
she wants to hear she's beautiful
she's beautiful"
and also she's tired of feeling sorry for herself, she cant help but be sad but she tries to forget about it and move on.. cuz she knows deep down its her fault:
"she'd cry herself to sleep
but she don't dare"
i donno.. thats what i got out of it. but its a phenomenal song.
