Did you stand there all alone?
Oh I cannot explain what's going down
I can see you standing next to me
In and out somewhere else right now
You sigh, look away
I can see it clear as day
Close your eyes, so afraid
Hide behind that baby face
Do do do do do do
You can drive all night
Looking for the answers in the pouring rain
You wanna find peace of mind
Looking for the answer
Funny how it seems like yesterday
As I recall you were looking out of place
Gathered up your things and slipped away
No time at all I followed you into the hall
Cigarette daydream
You were only seventeen
So sweet with a mean streak
Nearly brought me to my knees
Do do do do do do
You can drive all night
Looking for the answers in the pouring rain
You wanna find peace of mind
Looking for the…

okay so this song has a story for me. last year (i was 20 at the time) i went on a kinda blind date with a boy (also 20) that i had only talked to via texts or phone calls. i wasn't really into him, he was a little too overbearing, but the friend that set us up was putting a lot of pressure on me so i decided not to cancel the date even though i felt enormous doubt about it. halfway through the date i could tell the dude was super dorky and funny which is kinda adorable i guess. BUT our personalities were nothing alike. i didn't feel comfortable around him at all during the entire date. we didn't have any common interests to talk about so it resulted in awkward silence on my behalf and awkward word-spitting on his. we didn't have any common interests - except this band. and then, while he was driving me back to my place, he put on this song and sang with full lung capacity and made me laugh for the first time in that date. now, when i think about it and remember that moment, it seems to me the date wasn't that bad.

Essa música significa tudo pra mim, quando era menor e escutei ela pela primeira vez eu simplemente não parei de ouvir, ela trazia tantos sentimentos até mesmo para uma criança de 8 anos e uma das minhas maiores felicidades foi um ano depois de escutá-la pela primeira vez, eu poder me apresentar na frente de todos no colégio e cantar essa música incrível, todos aplaudiram e eu chorei sem parar e até hoje essa música me traz exatamente a mistura desse dia, felicidade com a tristeza ao mesmo tempo, enfim, CAGE THE ELEPHANT MUITO OBRIGADO!!!! Abração vindo diretamente do Brasiiil
Edit: Nossa, os brasileiros em peso aki pra essa música maravilhosa. Valeu gente! =)

in february i met this guy at the gym. he was from switzerland and i’m from portugal. when he left i promised him i’d go to switzerland to visit him. in april i went there, we weren’t dating but on april 9th i had the most magical day ever. we were riding our bikes while watching the sunset. later that night we lost eachother’s vcards. we went our separate ways and got back in july. we’re doing long distance now but if it’s meant to be it will. this song describes that day.

The fact I realised this matches my brother the “you were only 17” part because our mother died when he was 17 I was 10 at the time and it matches him like they had such a good bond like a huge mother son relationship it was amazing but when I was born she became ill after a year so I didn’t experience as much fun as he did but like she was great

I remember listening to this song when I was fourteen, hopeful. Wishing for better times. Knowing that I would get better.
Now I’m seventeen and I’m going through it; but I now have the certainty that one day I’ll listen to this again and I will remember how beautiful it all was. So grateful to be alive, to love. To be able to feel hope.

To me this song is a before and an after. i remember being 17, it was a stormy afternoon, i was riding my bike in a small town away from home, months away from finishing high school (when one is "supposed" to know what you want to do with your life) and then this particular sentence hit me "you can drive all night, looking for the answers in the pouring rain" i swear i had to stop right there in the middle of the street to contemplate my life and live that exact moment. it was magical
