Description
Encompasses the idea of diluted beauty to appease the stereotype of the kitsch masculinity that shouldn't (and often isn't) there - How it is sometimes easier to sell ourselves short than to risk building ourselves up.
Lyrics
They say it's strange But they also say, well you know that's just how it goes Moving a million miles a minute Caught in the afterglow I can't say we tried, maybe we did, maybe we didn't, but Who am I, who am I to decide We were both tightrope walking on the same line balancing at the same time And we lie side by side She whispered to me - "Use me I don't mind" Like a rainforest flower she alone has the power to cure my obscure disease - but still she's saying use me...use me And it seems Quantity over quality and if I can't get it here I'm moving on to the next best thing that's not how I want to live that's not how I want to be you could mean so much more to me You know they say it's strange But they also say, well you know that's just how it goes Moving a million miles a minute Caught in the afterglow I know you, and I'd hate to think the words that you chose to use were true I put myself too many times In other peoples shoes And we lie side by side She whispered to me - "Use me I don't mind" Like a rainforest flower she alone has the power to cure my obscure disease - but still she's saying use me...use me Blond bombshell, ringing her bicycle bell remember the day when you bit it head first and fell (pumping and pedaling like hell) Along with you, down came the rain A portrait of perfection, I could see through you like Cellophane
