Kimya Dawson really means well.
She's great,and her lyrics may not "make sense" to you,
But they come from the heart,and if you ACTUALLY listened to them,you'd understand.
She has stories to tell,and this is how she expresses herself,
And I just completely LOVE her to bits.

I took the Polaroid down in my room,
I'm pretty sure you have a new girlfriend.
It's not as if I don't like you,
It just makes me sad whenever I see it.

Cause I like to be gone most of the time,
And you like to be home most of the time.
If I stay in one place I lose my mind.
I'm a pretty impossible lady to be with.

Joey never met a bike that he didn't want to ride,
And I never met a Toby that I didn't like.
Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended,
Even if he didn't I wouldn't be offended.

I had a dream that had to drive to Madison
To deliver a painting for some silly reason.
I took a wrong turn and ended up in Michigan.
Paul Baribeau took me to the giant tire swing.
Gave me a push and he started singing
I sang along while I was swinging.
The sound of our voices made us forget everything
That had ever hurt our feelings.

Joey never met a bike that he didn't want to ride,
And I never met a Toby that I didn't like.
Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended,
Even if he didn't I wouldn't be offended I wouldn't be offended.

Now I'm home for less than twenty-four hours.
That's hardly time to take a shower,
Hug my family and take your picture off the wall,
Check my email write a song and make a few phone calls.
Before it's time to leave again,
I've got one hand on the steering wheel
One waving out the window.
If I'm a spinster for the rest of my life,
My arms will keep me warm on cold and lonely nights.

Joey never met a bike that he didn't want to ride,
And I never met a Toby that I didn't like.
Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended,
Even if he didn't I wouldn't be offended

While not all songs have meaning there is no written law that says they need to. Not all songs will be understood by everyone but all songs are open to each and every individuals personal interpretation. I am sorry that you found nothing of interest within this piece, because it offers alot of potential meanings pending on ones point of view.

"'cause I like to be gone most of the time
And you like to be home most of the time
If I stay in one place I lose my mind
I'm a pretty impossible lady to be with"

Wonderful wording, wonderfully written song. I am a big fan of work that isn't entirely obvious in it's conveyance of a message. Music and lyrics that encourage one to think and come to a personal understanding of what the song means to them are held dear to my heart. To each his / her own.
