Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come on come on we gotta go
Come on I know you're feeling better
I know you're feeling in control
I know you're feeling in control
We gotta be somewhere at 7
I know you have a dress to wearI found a way to live forever
I found a place where no one cares
One look and you see your eyes so blue
You talked to me with such sincerity
Oh how I wanted you
Come on come on come on let's get there
I know you've seen it in my eyes
I'm gonna be someone tomorrow
You're gonna be something tonight
I look at you I see it in your eyes
You talk to me with such sincerity
Oh how I wanted you, oh
We know we cannot last forever
Such crazy feelings you inspire
I'll have to run off by tomorrow
I never could put out this fire
I know you know it's going no where
And I feel the hurt for miles and miles
'Cause I want to be with you forever
I wanna be your precious stone
I'll never be your precious stone
In Pete Yorn's song "Precious Stone," the singer is urging his love interest to move quickly as they have somewhere to be by 7 pm. The song discusses how the singer's love interest has helped him find a place where he feels comfortable and that he has finally discovered a way to live forever. He admires his love interest's blue eyes and sincerity, and he has been drawn to her. He envisions a future where he is successful, but he knows that he can't last forever with her. The singer desires an everlasting connection with his love interest, but he realizes that he is not her "precious stone."
The song is about the singer's overwhelming emotions towards the object of his affection. He wants to be with her through every step of their lives, yet he knows that their love is transient. He realizes that their love is time-limited and that he's not the right person for her. Despite this, he can't help but want to be with her forever. At the song's heart is the idea that love is fleeting and that sometimes it's better to accept this fact and cherish what you have.
