Do you think that "in love with the world" means a person who is seduced by what the world has to offer, maybe in an exciting spontaneous way, but also in a way that creates a sense of discontentment that causes her to continually move from one thing to the next and not stay grounded or reliable, which is what he loves about her, but he's also afraid that one day she'll want to go and he cant stop her? Now he finds it sweet because he loves her so much, but he's also waiting for the time when its going to end.
I truly hope everyone understands that the lyric, "I'm in love with a girl who's in love with the world" is an Elliott Smith lyric. RE: "Say Yes" off the 97' album Either/Or by Elliott Smith. It is indeed an amazing lyric because it was written by someone who most of these acousic guitar wielding singer/songwriters rip off with a lot less success. Amos is good though and I see this as a tribute like lovelybones mentioned.

Ok so we don't know for sure that he really took those words from Elliot Smith.... I mean nothing is truly "original" in this society, everything is influenced by something that has already BEEN. So with that being said, let's not instigate negative thoughts. Coincidences do happen ya know.

When I listen to this song I get the sense that he feels lost in what life is really about. He mentions money, fame, equality and changing of relationships. These are ideologies that we have created to live for in life and I feel like the way he sings the beginning, he is questioning these ideologies. And whether they are really worth living for.

I love that line:
I love that line:
"well relationships change
though I think its kind of strange
how money makes a man grow"
"well relationships change
though I think its kind of strange
how money makes a man grow"
I feel like this line is pointing out the absurdness of how society has structured the growth in a man through how much money he makes rather than WHO HE IS as a person. And how the relationship between money and man hasn't changed and probably never will considering how society is caught up in the media. It also applies to his views on relationships, he finds it strange that relationships do change and people know it but still go through the trouble to form them.
It's a bittersweet song I feel like. I feel like he is trying to say that everyone is so busy/worried on trying to work their way up to live over the rainbow and it makes people overlook/take for granted all the things they already have in life and who they are and those who they have at that moment already.
