Have you ever listened to a song and realized that the lyrics make significantly more sense than they did a week ago... Nickel Creek did that to me today.
"Helena"
Helena, don't walk away
Before you give me back my heart
If it were mine, it would be yours to take
I'm sorry I let down my guard, oh Helena
You looked so sweet
I should have seen
While I was playing for fun
You were playing for keeps
You win, I lose, is there some way
You can leave me in your debt
So my girl and I can live to die another day
On that day I won't forget you, Helena
You look so sweet waiting for me
While I wait for her to give me any reason to leave
Don't waste your pretty sympathy
She's gonna be just fine
And Helena, so will we
So will everything in time, mmm
Helena, don't walk away
Did you hear one word I said
Oh well, I never really liked her anyway
And I forgot her, I'll forget you, Helena
You're not that sweet
And neither is she
Go ahead and tell her anything you want,
'cause, Helena, guys like me never sleep alone at night
I don't need your sympathy
'cause I'll always be just fine
Yeah, I'll always be just fine
wow

This is one of my favorite songs of all time.
And I'm pretty sure I'm the one that gave it to you.
You did.
And I'm pretty sure I'm indebted to you for it, too.
