Concept informed me how backwards I was. *blush* but here's my same comment in the correct place to be posting it now...
---
this song is great.
..About a guy's observations of a girl who is waiting for that 'special-someone' in her life, yet she is disappointed every time she thinks she might have found that person. she has lost hope in love? This song has so much significance to me it's almost crazy.. I can completely relate to the girl this song is describing.
..and so I digress.. :] :
Disappointed yet again -
"The clock never stops, never stops, never waits
She's growing old
It's getting late
And so he forgot, he forgot
Maybe not
Maybe he's been seriously hurt
Would that be worse? "
Fears life/opportunity is passing her by and it will be dull/lonely in the future:
"Headlights crest the hill
Shadows pass her by and out of sight
Annie sees her dreams:
Friday bingo, pigeons in the park "
Let-down again, thus if she had no expectations of the one she loves there would be no pain..feels she might be better off without love/companionship:
"Annie waits for the last time
Just the same as the last time
Annie says "You see this is why I'd rather be alone." '
My favorite line:
"Headlights crest the hill
Who will be the one for evermore?
(ooh ooh)
Annie, I could be
If we're both still lonely when we're old"
.. there is still hope, she is still loved by someone.. she just needs to open her eyes and realize he's right there in front of her.. but..
"Annie waits
But not for me.."
perhaps 'Annie' is scared from past disappointment which makes the guy who *truly* loves her feel like he has no chance.. and Annie can't even see the love he has for her since she has decided to put up a barrier due to past
'disappointment'.
and theeere's my 99 cents of interpretation! hehe. tsk.. I need to learn how to keep things shooooort. ;] oh well. ">
