Don't hold yourself like that
You'll hurt your knees I kissed your mouth and back But that's all I need Don't build your world around volcanoes melt you down What I am to you is not real What I am to you you do not need What I am to you is not what you mean to me You give me miles and miles of mountains And I'll ask for the sea Don't throw yourself like that In front of me I kissed your mouth your back Is that all you need? Don't drag my love around volcanoes melt me down What I am to you is not real What I am to you you do not need What I am to you is not what you mean to me You give me miles and miles of mountains And I'll ask For what I give to you Is just what i'm going through This is nothing new No no just another phase of finding what I really need Is what makes me bleed Like a new disease she's still too young What I am to you (She's still to young) is not real (She's still to young) What I am to you (She's still to young) you do not need (She's still to young) What I am to you (She's still to young) is not real (She's still to young) What I am to you (She's still to young)  submitted by Kaleigh corrected by Morgan on 16-12-2011 |

2 posts | this is one of my favourite ever songs.
i've actually thought a lot about the meaning and what i can gather.. i think it's about a guy and a girl, maybe friends, who sleep together. the frist verse is the guy's side: i think the [lyrics=]dont hold yourself like that, you'll hurt your knees[/lyrics] refers to her begging him to be with her or maybe her praying for them to be together. for the guy, the relationship is totally physical and he doesn't have the emotional connection to the girl but she has feeling for him ([lyrics=]what i am to you is not real, what i am to you is not what you mean to me[/lyrics]) and then the second verse is the girl's side and she's asking him to take her seriously and not to flirt with other girls or act like she doesn't mean anything. i think maybe she's realizing that the way they see their relationship is totally different. and lastly, i think the [lyrics=]like a new disease[/lyrics] might be talking about how she's clinging to him? and the [lyrics=]she's still to young[/lyrics] is saying that she doesnt have the maturity to realize that getting physical doesn't always mean something's there emotionally. that's my interpretation anyway.. god this was such a long reaction.. |

18 posts | i agree that its an absolutely beautifully dramatic song...but i think it has hidden connotations....does anyone think that they might know what they are? or at least try to explain the meaning of the song to me please? |

 512 posts | A lot of Damien's songs seem to fit my mood right now. Snark.
As has been said, the mountains/sea-metaphore is amazing. I think I'll be quoting that for a long time. Also, the finishing "you do not need me" is perfect. He has an act for good endings, doesn't he? And the canon at the end always makes me walk with my head a little higher. |

101 posts | "And what I am to you, is not what you mean to me." I don't know why, but that line is what got me hooked on Damien Rice. He's a great talent, and should get more credit here in the states. |

162 posts | This song is just so amazing, i totally agree that if i could write something half as expressive and generally amazing as this i would be so proud.
something about this song just makes me want to cry and im not quite sure what it is, its just so overwhelming, but in a very very good way  |

4 posts | but maybe he means the blowers daugther, the woman he loved, but is too joung for him (the blowers daugther is the daugter of his musicteacher)
It could be, i dont know in fact. I just make it from it, because i'm convinced that everyone once will fall in love with somebody who is too joung or stuff... (i did  )

4 posts | this is a fantastic song.
with she's too young I think he means that the desease in his mind is still too young to do something about it, he wants some time before he can act and treat his problem. |

52 posts | what do you think he means by "she's still too young"? |
