Lisa isn't going to take them off just to look more desirable to you, little Dominick from New York. Chyanne from San Diego, CaWhy are there men in the comments, giving their opinion about her glasses like it matters?.It's like the last thing I need to hear right now.' You leave your house, you're driving down the road, you're going to do something different, and all of a sudden you hear, Oh, here's my story on the radio. Hopefully, as a listener, you get a feeling like when you just can't get away from your problems. And it might not be as depressing as my friend who's suicidal, but it's still really hard. You know, this isn't such a special situation that I'm going through, but it still means something to me.

In a way I think I wrote that into the song because I was relating my story to the effect that everybody goes through this. When you're not going through some of those things, sometimes as a songwriter you think, 'Oh, that's so straightforward and cliché,' but you know what? That's how it feels. And then you realize why people wrote those songs. If you're going through difficult times, it's hilarious how you turn on the radio and even the most cliché things perfectly capture how you're feeling. It's funny, because it wasn't until later, after a couple of major breakups, that I realized when you're depressed and you're going through these breakups, the breakup was supposed to happen. Regarding the lyrics, 'I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up, and this woman was singing my song,' Lisa explains: 'That was when you hear somebody telling your exact story. It puts me in a little bit of a tailspin, because you can't figure out what's actually real, are you only seeing things through your own eyes? Are you actually seeing things the way that they really are, or are you making things up? And at what point do you know whether you're seeing things the way that they really are?'

Partially because somebody else is telling you that you're only hearing what you want to, and that puts you in a little bit of a tailspin. But yeah, it was a story about a breakup I was going through, and that situation where it's gotten into your head too much. A lot of times in my songs, I get into some phase where I describe some other situation, and there's a whole verse in there about somebody who is very, very depressed. And then I go off into some other areas: I remember somebody close to me was going through severe, severe depression. In a Songfacts interview with Lisa Loeb, she told the story behind 'Stay.' Said Loeb: 'At the time, I was having arguments with my boyfriend, who was actually my co-producer as well - we made records together.
