From Multiply: An Email from Shari (2008)

for badz's network
i felt like sharing this email. haha. i think i might have misread the lyrics yesterday, but yeah it's clearer now. the point is, the stanzas are from the guy's point of view, and the chorus is from the girl's point of view.

Okay, so I'm feeling productive tonight so I'm going to explain this song to you in full. Haha.

A STORY TO TELL YOUR FRIENDS by Every Avenue

It was the type of feeling that can't be explained
The way she moved her lips drove me insane
Now I'm left here in the wake of something more.
She made it hard to leave as she stood by the door
In a v-neck T-shirt and nothing more than
A single tear rolling down her cheek, whoa

*obviously, it's him doing the talking because he keeps saying 'she' and we can assume that he's the one who's leaving because the sight of the girl seeing him off (while she is wearing just a t-shirt. slut. haha) breaks his heart.*

Don't go away again,
I want to be more than a phone call at 4am.
Seems like every time you come back home
It's just to steal my heart and leave.
Don't go away again,
I want to be more than a story to tell your friends.
Seems like every time you come back home
It's just to make me fall again.

*i think it's the girl because now the singer is the one who's getting left behind. and she wants their relationship to be more than talking on the phone and the guy telling his new friends about her*

It's getting hard, I know, believe me I feel you
I can't fall asleep knowing you're not home
Is it too much to ask, can't you just pick up the phone?
We've had our share of fights,
I know it's not easy when I'm never home,
I have my own dreams
Like you have your life planned out back home

*so yeah, the guy's away and when he calls her, she's not home and di cia mapakali or something until he talks to her. and he says that even though he loves her, he really wants to do whatever is keeping him away (some people say it's about being on tour) and she's just happy to stay in their hometown.*

Don't go away again,
I want to be more than a phone call at 4am.
Seems like every time you come back home
It's just to steal my heart and leave.
Don't go away again,
I want to be more than a story to tell your friends.
Seems like every time you come back home
It's just to make me fall again.

*see above. hahaha*

And I, will always stand between us
And hold you so high
Just enough to watch you fade
Tonight you'll cry yourself asleep
As I lay awake in some far off city
Pretend you're lying next to me
Eyes wide open dreaming of you

*so yeah, he knows they're apart because he wants to pursue his dreams or whatever. so they're having problems because of him. and obviously they miss each other and wish they were together.*

Don't go away again,
I want to be more than a phone call at 4am.
Seems like every time you come back home
It's just to steal my heart and leave.
Don't go away again,
I want to be more than a phone call at 4am.
Seems like every time you come back home
It's just to steal my heart and leave.

Don't go away again,
I want to be more than a story to tell your friends.
Seems like every time you come back home
It's just to make me fall again

*it's the girl's thing. hahaha.*

haha, i was cleaning up my desktop items and i saved pala a few lines from our ym-versation:

shari quimbo: a story to tell your friends by every avenue. it goes "every time you come back home, it's just to steal my heart and leave". it's cute
badz nacua: it's sad.
shari quimbo: i know. which is why i believe after he wrote that song, he went drinking and cheated. haha

:))
