Armed on stage with himself, his trusty strings, sweet synth and handy portable computer, Pizzagirl loves to shred some chords, meet some new friends and guzzle some slices in whatever small corner of the world he may find himself in.

By the Way
Pizzagirl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There isn't a day I want you away from me
I'll tell you every single night
You make, like, everything alright
We could've watched so much TV
Your eyes turn to squares, then turn back to me
That's nice
You said we're friends, won't lie, it hurt
Walk 'round the block, and maybe again
Third time's the charm that made me say when to stop
Your keys are in the potpourri
I clear my search history
You're like a shrink, out on the couch
You start to sigh as I pour it out to you
I fold my arms, you start to laugh
The waitress took our photograph
Go away
By the way, by the way
It's not the first time, but I think I'll let you go now
It's not the first time, but I think I'll let you go now
Coulda, shoulda, woulda, wanted it all, wanted it all now
Coulda, shoulda, woulda, wanted it all, wanted it all now
It's not the first time, but I think I'll let you go now
It's not the first time, but I think I'll let you go now
Coulda, shoulda, woulda, wanted it all, wanted it all now
Coulda, shoulda, woulda, wanted it all, wanted it all now
Leopard print tramp stamp, grindin' on me
Your back fat pushin' at the back of your jeans
Don't sweat it
We watch Jeopardy at night, I say "What is love?"
You turn to dust
I'm a couch potato in a world of fries
Bury me deep in the soil tonight, I'm finished
I wanna be reborn as something better
By the way, by the way
By the way, by the way
By the way, by the way
By the way, by the way
The song "By the Way" by Pizzagirl is a nostalgic ode to a past friendship or relationship that the singer is struggling to let go of. The opening lines of the song express the singer's desire to keep the other person close, stating that there isn't a day they want the other person away from them. The chorus then reveals the difficult decision the singer must make to let the other person go, despite their strong attachment to them. The middle section of the song describes a specific moment in their relationship, walking around the block and finally realizing when to stop, and the symbolism of the other person's keys being in the potpourri. The lyrics capture the bittersweet feeling of nostalgia and the difficulty of moving on from someone who was once significant in their life.
The song's chorus of "Coulda, shoulda, woulda, wanted it all, wanted it all now" emphasizes the singer's regret for not being able to make things work out with the person they are addressing. The line "Leopard print tramp stamp, grindin' on me / Your back fat pushin' at the back of your jeans" stands out as an interesting image that may refer to a specific memory or moment in their past relationship. The reference to watching Jeopardy and the line "I'm a couch potato in a world of fries" also speak to a sense of comfort and familiarity that the singer is struggling to let go of.
Overall, "By the Way" is a well-crafted song that captures the emotional complexity of nostalgia and the struggle to let go of someone who was once an important part of your life.

Oh, by the way, just wanted to say
I have something to say to you
There isn't a day I want you away from me
I never want you to leave me
I'll tell you every single night
I will tell you every night how much I need you
You make, like, everything alright
You make everything better
We could've watched so much TV
We could have spent more time together
Your eyes turn to squares, then turn back to me
You get lost in the TV and forget about me
That's nice
I appreciate your words
You said we're friends, won't lie, it hurt
It hurt me when you said we're just friends
Now I've been put off, my desert
I'm feeling rejected and alone
Walk 'round the block, and maybe again
I'm trying to clear my head by walking around the block
Third time's the charm that made me say when to stop
I finally decided when to stop walking
Your keys are in the potpourri
Your keys are mixed in with the fragrant dried flowers
I clear my search history
I delete my internet browsing history
You're like a shrink, out on the couch
You listen to me like a therapist on the couch
You start to sigh as I pour it out to you
You get frustrated as I vent my problems to you
I fold my arms, you start to laugh
I cross my arms and you find it funny
The waitress took our photograph
The server captured a photo of us
Go away
I want you to leave me alone
It's not the first time, but I think I'll let you go now
I've been through this before, but it's time to say goodbye
Coulda, shoulda, woulda, wanted it all, wanted it all now
I had high expectations, but it didn't turn out as planned
Leopard print tramp stamp, grindin' on me
You have a garish tattoo and you're dancing provocatively with me
Your back fat pushin' at the back of your jeans
Your excess weight is causing your jeans to fit poorly
Don't sweat it
Don't worry about it
We watch Jeopardy at night, I say 'What is love?'
We watch a game show and I make a joke about love
You turn to dust
You disappear and leave me alone
I'm a couch potato in a world of fries
I feel lazy and unproductive compared to others
Bury me deep in the soil tonight, I'm finished
I feel defeated and want to give up
I wanna be reborn as something better
I hope for a better self in the future
By the way, by the way
By the way...
By the way, by the way
By the way...
By the way, by the way
By the way...
By the way, by the way
By the way...
