Wryta Thinkpiece 3,344 Posted October 30, 2013 You know, something interesting that occurred to me..."You saw a life back in the countryside,"That line, as much as I love it and think it's most likely correct, still feels weird to me at the same time—and then during one listen a few days ago, I actually wondered if she was saying "You sought a life back in the countryside."It changes the meaning of the lyric a lot, and personally works well with the song altogether in my opinion.Just a thought! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Creyk 11,690 Posted May 1, 2014 I realized I only listened to this song like a total of 6 times so I'm having it on repeat now. Oh wow, really nice lyrics. Does everyone's version have a: "Now let's listen to a little Lizzie Grant on a track called a Star For Nick" intro? I just edited it out on mine. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Creyk 11,690 Posted May 2, 2014 i've never heard of that, was that the guy who played it on his radio? probs Yeah It could have been Then I guess it was just on my version It's great that I removed it, increased the replay value of the song so much.... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Creyk 11,690 Posted May 2, 2014 Omfg do you have a link????? ??????????? ??????? No I just looked around for you and OMFG it must have been rare because I only found the intro-less version Too bad I deleted mine already But it was just an annoying male voice introducing the song, really nothing significant 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just Cherry 3,767 Posted May 17, 2014 You saw life back in the countryside You know, something interesting that occurred to me... "You saw a life back in the countryside," That line, as much as I love it and think it's most likely correct, still feels weird to me at the same time—and then during one listen a few days ago, I actually wondered if she was saying "You sought a life back in the countryside." It changes the meaning of the lyric a lot, and personally works well with the song altogether in my opinion. Just a thought! I've always thought it's "You're so alive back in the countryside"I think it's actually "You were so alive back in the country side." Not that it matters so much. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kitschesque 9,881 Posted December 19, 2017 The debate on the countryside line is actually pretty important. I'd go towards the "You saw life back in the countryside" since she didn't have any perspective there so she decided to move out. He did and he liked it, but she didn't. It sounds much more meaningful than "you're so alive" given the context. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
