| Great song! I like what share of meanings already you guys have put in. I don't have anything too sure about but pieces of all yours sounds good enough to me. | |

| i agree. kings of leon aren't getting their fair share of attention here. i'm kind of baffled by the lyrics too. he's laying with this "mona lisa," most likely a really complicated girl, or a girl who's just stoic and unemotional. "Crimson and Clover" could be in reference to any song that's playing in the background because the phrase is in so many other songs. i think that he's finally got the girl that he wanted but now he realizes that it's not what he thought it would be. he asks for his lonely life back because he loves the thought of missing this girl more than the actual girl in the flesh. | |

| to me the "crimson and clover" refrence can mean two things. it could be that sense the phrase is used so much it lost its true meaning and that is happening to many other things. it could also mean that because it is in so many songs almost anything you listen to will have it those are just my opinions though | |

| crimson and clover is a song by joan jett, so its a possibility whichever bandmember wrote this song listened to "crimson and clover" alot | |

| i think sometimes people put more thought into the lyrics of songs than the writer or writers themselves ever did and with that stated here I go....I've heard people say MONA LISA has a look on her face like she knows something you don't...so I think it's about a guy whose a vrigin with a girl who isn't. | |

| now, here's the real question regarding this song: which version do you prefer? the original, polished one that they removed from the album before releasing it in the US? or the raw, truer kings-of-leon style version? | |

| I disagree with the virginity theory, mainly because I've never met a guy who ever regretted losing their virginity. I think this song is about the dissapointment of relationships and having trouble making the decision to break up. "Seem too close to be losin' touch By givin' in, what am I givin' up Am I losin' way too much" This sounds like he's wrestling with his emotions and scared that the grass really isn't greener on the other side. The reference to California Waiting might be that he has the oportunity to go there for something better but it would mean the end of the relationship. "Can't I get back my lonely life" sounds like an ironic statement about wanting to be single again. Anyway, just my thoughts, could be completely wrong | |
