"Stay" - Lisa Loeb
I've missed this song. It will always remind me of cruisin' around in a Ford Probe through the Rose Bowl. I couldn't drive stick then and I barely can drive it now. I guess I'll never learn. I'm better with an automatic, but it's funny how I still leave my hand over the transmission as if I'm getting ready to shift. It makes me feel like a bad ass to think that I'd have that much control, but nowadays my semi-automatic usually kicks into gear as if saying, "No, no, no you still don't know." Sigh...
I guess driving stick is a lot like falling in love. I think I got the hang of things and have at many times in my life, succeeded in getting at least half-way down the road without it stalling on me or worst, having it make that horrific scratching noise it makes when I put it in the wrong gear. And then sadly, it eventually dies and I'm sitting behind the steering wheel feeling like a complete failure because I'm stuck.
Lyrics:
you say I only hear what I want to.
you say I talk so all the time so.
and I thought what I felt was simple,
and I thought that I don't belong,
and now that I am leaving,
now I know that I did something wrong 'cause I missed you.
yeah, I missed you.
and you say I only hear what I want to:
I don't listen hard,
I don't pay attention to the distance that you're running
or to anyone, anywhere,
I don't understand if you really care,
I'm only hearing negative: no, no, no.
so I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up,
and this woman was singing my song:
the lover's in love, and the other's run away,
the lover is crying 'cause the other won't stay.
some of us hover when we weep for the other who was
dying since the day they were born.
well, this is not that:
I think that I'm throwing, but I'm thrown.
and I thought I'd live forever, but now I'm not so sure.
you try to tell me that I'm clever,
but that won't take me anyhow, or anywhere with you.
you said that I was naive,
and I thought that I was strong.
I thought, "hey, I can leave, I can leave."
but now I know that I was wrong, 'cause I missed you.
you said, "You caught me 'cause you want me and one day you'll let me go."
"you try to give away a keeper, or keep me 'cause you know you're just so scared to lose.
and you say, "stay."
you say I only hear what I want to.
