Is this it

There appears to be nothing remarkable about this song or the lyrics, but the band sure has a cool name, so maybe I'm missing something? My ipod seems to have wanted me to ponder thus, since it dialed this number up tonight...

Can't you see I'm trying, I don't even like it

I just lied to get to your apartment

Now I'm staying there just for a while

I can't think 'cause I'm just way too tired

Is this it

Is this it

Is this it

Said they'd give you anything you ever wanted

When they lied I knew it was just stable

Children trying hard not to realize I was sitting right behind you

Dear can't you see, it's them it's not me

We're not enemies, we just disagree

If I was like him, all dissing his Pa

He changes his mind, says I went too far

We all disagree I think we should disagree, yeah...

Certainly, the chorus is a question I've pondered from time to time, but this song, unfortunately, gets me no closer to an answer...

Hawaii

Lying around much of the day today feeling poorly, I'm starting to prepare for my trip to Hawaii this week. I was pumped to find this song by The Strokes to express my need for that place, my love for that place, and the sheer amazement that it is one of our 50 states:

Still my favorite place

In this whole wide world

Has got to be in the middle

of the ocean floor.

I see you poking out of the ocean.

Paradise on Earth.

The 50th state - WHAT?!

Hawaii.

We got it made

Yes, i know.

can we go

by plane or boat.

whether you take it slow

or you let me go

whether you tell me something

that i did not know

whether you're neat and polite

or you scream and fight

whether you keep something from me

that i wouldn't like

still my favorite attitude

in this world so far

is the friendly spirit

of an iron heart

like the way folks are in

this most special place

i dont care what happens

i'm taking a plane to
