Losing A Whole Year
Third Eye Blind Lyrics

Losing a whole year
The loss of time spent with someone who tried to fit in a world that she can't truly understand.

I remember you and me used to spend The whole goddamned day in bed
Remember the happy times when they were still inseparable and able to spend their whole day in bed.

Losing a whole year Hiding in your room we'd lay like dogs And the phone would ring like a joke that's left unsaid
The years they've lost hiding in a place where they are both comfortable, with the phone ringing but ignored, just like an unsaid joke.

Rich daddy left you with a parachute Your voice sounds like money and your face is cute But your daddy left you with no love You touch everything with a velvet glove and Now you want to try your life of sin You want to be down with the down and in Always copping my truths I kind of get the feeling like I'm being used
Her dad gave her money and material things but no love, and now she wants to try and fit into a different world filled with sin and deception, and the artist senses that he's just being used.

And now I realize that you never heard One goddamned word I ever said Losing a whole year
The realization that all this time spent together, and all the words he said, went unheard and unnoticed.

I took your stuff and put it in the basement When I found out what the smile on your face meant I seen you pop that check Craning your neck at my car wreck And it always seems the juice used to flow In the car, in the kitchen, you were good to go Now we're stuck with the tube A sink full of dishes and some aqua lube
Actions where he took her stuff and placed it on the basement when he found out what that smile on her face truly meant. She's now only interested in things like cashing checks and looking at the singer's misfortunes. They were once spontaneous in the car and in the kitchen, but now being stuck watching TV, washing plates, and using some lubrication.

If it's not the defense then you're on the attack When you start talking I hear the Prozac Convinced you found your place With the pierced queer teens in cyber space When you were yourself there was tasted sweet Sours into a routine deceit Well this drama is a bore And I don't want to play no more Whoa why, whoa why Losing a whole year
When she's not defensive, she's being offensive, and when she talks, it's like hearing a mentally unstable person. She thinks she's found her place with various people on the Internet. When she was just herself, she was sweet, but now she's become a different liar. There's just too much drama, and the singer is done with all of it.

Hey, bye
Farewell to what was once special.

Losing a whole year I remember you and me used to spend The whole goddamn day in bed Hey, bye Hey, bye
A repetition of the chorus, recalling how they used to spend their day together in bed, and the goodbyes that come with realizing things have changed.
