Tire Swing here's the lyrics:
I took the Polaroid down in my room
I'm pretty sure you have a new girlfriend
It's not as if I don't like you
It just makes me sad whenever I see it
'cause I like to be gone most of the time
And you like to be home most of the time
If I stay in one place I lose my mind
I'm a pretty impossible lady to be with
Joey never met a bike that he didn't wanna ride
And I never met a Toby that I didn't like
Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended
Even if he didn't, I wouldn't be offended
I had a dream that I had to drive to Madison
To deliver a painting for some silly reason
I took a wrong turn and ended up Michigan
Paul Baribeau took me to the giant tire swing
Gave me a push and he started singing
I sang along while I was swinging
The sound of our voices made us forget everything
That had ever hurt our feelings
Joey never met a bike that he didn't wanna ride
And I never met a Toby that I didn't like
Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended
Even if he didn't, I wouldn't be offended
Now I'm home for less than 24 hours
That's hardly time to take a shower
Hug my family and take your picture off the wall
Check my email, write a song, and make a few phone calls
Before it's time to leave again
I've got one hand on the steering wheel, one waving out the window
If I'm a spinster for the rest of my life
My arms will keep me warm on cold and lonely nights
Joey never met a bike that he didn't wanna ride
And I never met a Toby that I didn't like
Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended
Even if he didn't, I wouldn't be offended
it's a very good song if like me today you feel kinda low.
In my case she describes some of her (and my )feelings, in such a perfect and simple way, with quick singing, almost whispered, and thus making them even more powerfull.
Once again, i will reveal MY interpretation, of this song...
Well not really an interpretation, more like what i feel.
the first time i listened to this sing i was profoundly bothered, because this woman i had NEVER seen or heard of, for the matter, was describing my feelings and my life.
I felt like it was an intromission to my soul, and that's when i realized this is exactly how music, poetry all art should make you feel, like someone went inside you and shook till your very core.
And men, was it beautiful.
P.S.- i'm incredibly philosofical after law school screws me again and again.
bastards
