No Picture D-backs, 2006 w Rhythm Player	#1 by D-backs, 2006 world series champions! !! at Jan 13, 1974 at 10:01 AM EST
	does anyone get the feeling these people are sneaking around and doing stuff and having sex and trying not to get caught? the first stanza's talking about this and the fact that "dont do this" means they both are internally unstable if this is really what they want. the next stanzas is talking about how easily influenced they are... plainly stated it's a long way back south.... i would have to go with the head theory with that one... i never thought of it that way before but now its like omg so obvious. "Besides did you ever stop to think that we can keep this up, living like thieves?" basically spells it out for yuou people they're sneaking around without caring what happens next.. the comparison to theives b/c they get away with everything and dont pay for their sins isnt that easier?

	mmmmmm cool song ....that would be cool if that was what the song is about.....i like you...youre crazy

No Picture Austin Wanna Be	#3 by Austin Skitowski at Aug 24, 1976 at 1:03 PM EST
	Doesn't anyone know it's "you spent the night LIT listening to miles davis"...as in, high? Or at least thats what the CD booklet says.

No Picture Jake Average	#4 by Jake m at Oct 10, 1979 at 5:47 PM EST
	You're probably right. It's probably more like.." Hey, If we end up together, I wanna be in the south, cause that's home" and she's like .. umm.. no..

No Picture Joe Average	#5 by Joe Montana at Jan 24, 1980 at 4:14 AM EST
	hahah yes, it's about sex. or seems to be, like greatromancesofthe20thcentury

No Picture Harry Average	#6 by Harry Johnson at Jun 17, 1986 at 8:00 PM EST
	Wow, I agree with "splitends". This song definetly gives me the feeling that the guy is trying to get the girl to give him a blowjob. I would have never thought of that comparison, but once again it fits...

	sounds like a radio hit. pft.

No Picture Brett Professional	#8 by Brett Czap at Apr 7, 1992 at 9:03 AM EST
	For me, it's like the guy and girl f*ck-buddies. Great friends, but better lovers. It works great for a while, but the girl always ends up falling in love. The guy just keeps coming back for the easy sex, but now, she won't give it up, and she's getting upset. Nicely done 'split ends' about the head comment. Maybe that's not what it means, but funny none-the-less.

No Picture Mike Average	#9 by Mike Fraguglia at Feb 2, 1998 at 4:54 AM EST
	^that....or it could be about sex...haha

No Picture Alex Average	#10 by Alex P at Jul 27, 1999 at 10:41 PM EST
	Dude, has anybody had one of those girlfriends that gets "confused" all the time? They start liking other guys, or aren't sure if they want a serious relationship, or whatever their problem is. I had one like that recently, and I think that is what this song is about. For you consideration: He goes to this girl's house, to pick her up... She says, "Umm, I want to talk to you about something.." And this is where the song starts.. "Were gonna die like this you know, miserable and old.." These are his thoughts as she starts talking.. here we go again this will go on forever. "Really got it hand it you" I've got to say, you are the record for this kind of stuff. "Are you positive? Absolutely sure?" Is this for REAL this time? "Just get dressed don't do this," Come on this happens over and over again, let's go out already. They take off on the date, the next section is the conversation of the date. She says she was listening to Miles Davis before he came over, and his music is influencing her thoughts. She is confused, she doesn't know if she wants to get serious or bail out. He says, do we really need to talk about this, can't we enjoy what we have? And his attitude of here we go again, makes her decide to break it off, hence the addition of "When we get home we are through" I'm from the Carolinas, so I believe the next part is him talking about how he was engrained in his youth with certain traditions (as is common in the south) One such tradition is courtship, or the idea of dating a long time (2 years or more) before making any serious decisions about a relationship. Honestly, it's hard to adapt to other places, (Like utah where I am now) when people get engaged after a month. Her talking having "been there once ot twice" is her talking other relationships with southern boys. And he says, you never gave the long-term thing a chance. "Did you ever think we could keep living like thieves" is him saying, taking anything and running, like a relationshiip, doesn't work out in the end. The rest of the song is him and her going back and forth on the ride home.. are you sure? Yes. We're through. Great. Are you sure? and so on until the end where they both decide.. we're through. ok. that's it. it's not about sex.

No Picture Laurence Average	#11 by Laurence Alam at Jul 22, 2005 at 11:06 PM EST
	its not about sex at all! adams talking about a girl, who sounds like isnt quite a girlfriend because she hasnt given him a chance, and wont even try to like where he's from(north carolina, where he lived before new york) she cant even decide if she wants to be with him or 'keep [her] distance'. i think hes saying if she doesnt make up her mind quick, theyre just going to grow old with nothing happening between them, and miserable, because shes not budging an inch for him, and hes just frustrated.
