Reflections
I read an article in Vh1 about the guys and it mentioned that this particular
song was written by Jakob with Paige in mind. In other words he dedicated
this song to her. In my opinion it talks about when they were going out
and how each one of them had their problems back then.
"I feel pretty good I feel alright, and I've been thinking maybe that if
I can spend the night. I know you've been sad. I know I've been bad. But
if you'd let me make you ribbons of paper bag."
- He talks about her having problems and how he may have caused
some of them. He wants to make things right for her cause he loves her.
"Josephine your so good to me and I know it ain't easy Josephine, your
so sweet you must taste just like sugar and tangerines"
- He's saying that she is really good to him althought sometimes
he may not deserve it. He knows that it isn't easy to cope with him
and understand him.
"I've missed your smile your school girl style"
- Something has made her changed maybe some problem and he wants
her to be the same way she was when he met her.
"I never had much fun maybe the very first mile"
- He probably refers to his yrs he spent at the college studying art
and how that didn't satisfy him.
"Don't you know I've watched you walking home from school, your friends on
the old playgrounds you never looked so down"
- He was in love with her and like any person in love with someone
he followed her around. He saw her daily activities and then all of the
sudden he notices that she has changed somehow because of something.
"Won't you come and help me with these cuts of mine. I've disconnected
my heart I've cut myself on the wires"
- He's also hurt by seeing her suffer and wants her to feel better
so that he too can feel better.
"I know I was wrong I knew all the long, I got so far from home never thought
I'd be so lonesome"
- He thinks maybe he's the one who's causing all this sadness with
he and admits to it. He wanted to get out of his house so desperately
to be independent that now at this time he never thought he'd be so lonely
