Day 08 - A Song That You Know All The Words To

Stay (I Missed You) by Lisa Loeb and Nine Stories is a song from the movie Reality Bites. Ethan Hawke was the one who directed the song's video. It's one of those songs that I really took the time to memorize. When this song first came out, I was impressed because I think Lisa Loeb's voice is unique, and the song was also different from all the other pop songs during that time. I think I may have sung this song several times in front of many people. It's been more than ten years, and I still know the lyrics.
Stay (I Missed You) by Lisa Loeb and Nine Stories
You say I only hear what I want to. You say I talk so all the time so. And I thought what I felt was simple, and I thought that I don't belong, and now that I am leaving, now I know that I did something wrong 'cause I missed you. Yeah yeah, I missed you. And you say I only hear what I want to: I don't listen hard, don't pay attention to the distance that you're running to anyone, anywhere, I don't understand if you really care, I'm only hearing negative: no, no, no. So I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up, and this woman was singing my song: lover's in love, and the other's run away, lover is crying 'cause the other won't stay. Some of us hover when we weep for the other who was dying since the day they were born. Well, well, this is not that; I think that I'm throwing, but I'm thrown. And I thought I'd live forever, but now I'm not so sure. You try to tell me that I'm clever, but that won't take me anyhow, or anywhere with you. You said that I was naive, and I thought that I was strong. I thought, "hey, I can leave, I can leave." Oh, but now I know that I was wrong, 'cause I missed you. Yeah, I miss you. You said, "I caught you 'cause I want you and one day I'll let you go." You try to give away a keeper, or keep me 'cause you know you're just scared to lose. And you say, "Stay." And you say I only hear what I want to.
