Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Kyle Wanna Be	#1 by Kyle Kom at Jun 1, 1976 at 9:58 PM EST
	This song reminds me of a girl who can't decide whether or not she wants to stay with a certain boy, so she keeps breaking up/distancing herself from him then coming back. (and repeat). Then he finally gets fed up with it. This song always reminds me of hangin' out in San Diego, dunno why. :)

No Picture Nick Rhythm Player	#2 by Nick Carrasco at Nov 13, 1997 at 5:52 PM EST
	rufio is just an awesome band! right when i heard this song i fell in love with it. it's rad!

No Picture Ulti` Average	#3 by Ulti` 89 at Feb 6, 2000 at 10:27 PM EST
	I can't believe there are only 2 replies to this song. This is one of the best rufio songs every. I think this song is about somebody he loved, but left his life, and he's asking himself y wait for that person if there is no more love between them....? w/e it means, it's still a good song

No Picture Matt Lead Player	#4 by Matt Cromwell at Jan 26, 2007 at 10:35 PM EST
	hmm... my ex boyfriend just told me to d/l this song, and "dont hate me"...
