Ok, before you write this off as lame girl rock, remember that some of us have dreams about rock stardom, and the Donnas are better role models than the Runaways. I mean, it's nice to have a rock band that I like that's not run on pills and booze.
So, the night before was pretty fun - I went to Penn State to meet some of boyfriend's friends. I felt a bit awkward at first, but then I remembered that I'm awesome, and proceeded to drink lots of homebrew and German beer, and socialized like I'm not an engineer. I'm hopelessly gregarious, and parties are just so much fun when I know no one, but have an in... like everyone knowing my boyfriend.
There's just one thing - I'm really bad at hanging out with boyfriend at large social gatherings, or maybe he's bad at hanging out with me. Either way, we don't really see each other until we wake up the next morning. I feel like this song is my subconsciousness's way of being jealous of everyone. The line goes "What do I have to do to make you want me?" Pssh that's a jealous subconscious if I ever heard it.
A lot of the Donnas' songs are kind of bitchy and predatory. This is one of their more vulnerable songs. It's not the typical "fuck you I'll just find someone better," or "come get it" tune. It's nice to have a realistic take on relationships for once.
Good Morning!
