My neice just pointed out this sounds like a stalking song.

[Swede]

It sounds like total love song. What do you think.

All last summer in case you dont recall
I was yours and you were mine forget it all
Is there a line that I could write
Sad enough to make you cry
All the lines you wrote to me were lies
The months roll past the love that you struck dead
Did you love me only in my head?
Things you said and did to me
Seemed to come so easily
The love I thought Id won you give for free
Whispers at the bus stop
I heard about nights out in the school yard
I found out about you
Rumors follow everywhere you go
Like when you left and I was last to know
Youre famous now and theres no doubt
In all the places you hang out
They know your name and know what youre about
Whispers at the bus stop
I heard about nights out in the school yard
I found out about you
Street lights blink on through the car window
I get the time too often on am radio
You know its all I think about
I write your name drive past your house
Your boyfriends over I watch your light go out
Whispers at the bus stop
I heard about nights out in the school yard
I found out about you

1. I love the Gin Blossoms.

I was in high school when this came out. This song, to me, is about someone who has had their heart broken by someone and is resolving that issue. We all do weird things like drive past our ex's house when they've stomped our guts out, metaphorically speaking.

6. Same here...

Although I never heard any of their songs except that one until years later (and after, tragically, the writer of that song had taken his own life :-( ).

[VenusRising]

7. I'm sorry.

It's always better to be into a band while they are together.

Their song "29" was my anthem for 2005, the year before I turned 30.

8. I love them, too

I think it's about finding out the person you loved, and who thought loved you, screwed you over.

2. I always thought this sounded like a stalker tune

No Reply (the beatles)

This happened once before,
When I came to your door,
No reply.
They said it wasn't you,
But I saw you peep through your window,
I saw the light, I saw the light,
I know that you saw me,
'cos I looked up to see your face.

I tried to telephone,
They said you were not home,
That's a lie,
'cause I know where you've been,
I saw you walk in your door,
I nearly died, I nearly died,
'cause you walked hand in hand
With another man in my place.

If I were you I'd realize that I
Love you more than any other guy,
And I'll forgive the lies that I
Heard before when you gave me no reply.

I've tried to telephone,
They said you were not home,
That's a lie,
'cause I know where you've been,
I saw you walk in your door,
I nearly died, I nearly died,
'cause you walked hand in hand
With another man in my place.

No reply, no reply.

4. That's pretty stalker-y.

I prefer this for Stalker Music.

I like to look at shadows sweating on the wall
I get excited when I hear footsteps in the hall
OUtside your balconly I have a dream with a view
And I'm watching you
I dial your telephone each and every afternoon
I wait by your door till you're asleep at night
And when you're alone I know when you
Turn out the light

CHORUS
I'm gonna get close to you
Oh-oh so close to you
I'm gonna get close to you
I'm gonna get close

You fumble for your keys
I'm six or seven steps behind you
I'm so close to you
Are you terrified of me? What do I know about you
How did I find out?
You think I'm a fool or maybe some kind of lunatic
Say I'm wasting my time but I know what to do with it
It's as plain as black and white

CHORUS

If you knew my infinite charm
There'd be no reason to be so alarmed
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right
Maybe I'm some kind of lunatic
You say I'm wasting all of my time
But I know what to do with it
It's plain as black and white

I'm gonna get close to you
Oh-oh so close to you
I'm gonna get close to you
I'm like a hungry criminal
And your protection is minimal
So minimal

3. The ultimate stalker song

Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
Ill be watching you

Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
Ill be watching you

Oh, cant you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
Ill be watching you

Since youve gone I been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but its you I cant replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby, please...

Oh, cant you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every breath you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
Ill be watching you

Every move you make
Every step you take
Ill be watching you

Ill be watching you
Ill be watching you
Ill be watching you
Ill be watching you...

9. It IS a stalker song

[lukasahero]

10. Wanna know something really scary about this song?

I played in a band that did weddings during the 80's and this was the most requested first dance song for the "happy couple". Seriously. What were they thinking?

5. Steve Earle on stalking:

More Than I Can Do
(Steve Earle)
I'm trying hard to let you go
But it's more than I can do
And every day or two
I wind up right back where I started
I'm trying not to let you know
That I'm still in love with you
I can't just sit home blue
'Cause there ain't no rest for the brokenhearted

Just because you won't unlock your door
That don't mean you don't love me anymore
No matter what you do
Because you know it's more than I can do

You told me that I got to stop
But it's more than I can do
And that ain't nothing new
'Cause we both know that I'm crazy about you

You said you're gonna call the cops
But I ain't gonna run
Because you're the only one
There ain't no way I could live without you

You left me just when I needed you
So l ain't even close to through with you
