She's a Stayer
Daiquiri Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can't say it
You wanna be polite
Another write off
You're staying in tonight
You can't say it
You're staring at the door
Get out now you could stay
Or go somewhere anywhere
Nowhere else
She's not going anywhere

She's got time to spare
She's got tie to spend
This visit never ends
You can't say it
By now the door is locked
She may be cute but
You're running out of talk
You never touched her
She's cancelled all your plans
She's cut but
The stayers got a man
Somewhere anywhere
Nowhere else
She's not going anywhere
She's got time to spare
She's got time to spend
This visit never ends
Somewhere anywhere
Nowhere else
She's a stayer time manipulater
Your time waster
Your seat chaser
Time manipulator
Door bells rings just ignore
It it might be her




Half hour later it's still ringing
You know its her

Overall Meaning

In the song "She's a Stayer" by Daiquiri, the singer is experiencing a dilemma - he wants to leave but can't bring himself to do so. The song describes how he is stuck in a bind because he can't bring himself to speak his mind and tell her that he wants to leave. Instead, he is polite and avoids confrontation, which makes him feel uncomfortable. The woman is described as someone who has a lot of free time and is not easily moved or affected by the singer's desire to leave. Although he hasn't made a move on her, he has come to the realization that she has already moved on from him and is seeing someone else. Regardless of this revelation, he still finds himself stuck in the situation, unable to escape.


The song also highlights the power dynamic at play in relationships. The woman is portrayed as someone who is in control of the situation, with the singer being unable to assert himself and make his desires known. She is described as a "stayer" who manipulates time, a "time waster" who chases what she wants. This contrast between the woman's assertiveness and the singer's hesitancy shows how people with different personalities can complement each other or clash.


Overall, "She's a Stayer" is a song that explores the complex emotions of being in a relationship where one person feels trapped or stuck but can't find the words or the courage to leave. It portrays a scenario where one person has all the power while the other is left feeling helpless and confused.
