Story Behind the Song
This one was a nightmare to mix. Recording the song only took a few days, but mixing it took weeks. After well over ten tries, it finally came together. The result was worth it, methinks.
Lyrics
well, hit my head and call me shorty
what just happened here?
or is it what never happened at all?
i think it's coming clear
here i thought that from the start
i'd wormed my way into your heart
but . . . nah
if i thought you felt half as bad
as i find myself feeling tonight . . .
but i know you don't feel much at all
i don't even merit a rise
cause i'm the has-been that never was
the number one thing in your life
i'm just a high-tech
red-neck
nervous wreck
mad as heck
kinda guy
i tried my best
but failed to guess
how to impress
midwestern
kinda guy
when you gave me that special kiss
there was something special i must've missed
now i guess i know why
'cause i'm the has-been that never was
the number one thing in your life
so i guess there's no hard feelings
at least not out of you
you're feeling a whole lotta nothing
and i'm feeling a whole lotta screwed
you got what you wanted
and then you got yourself gone
i gave you everything i could
and you gave me a yawn
when i held you near my heart
did you feel the spark?
when you tore yourself away from me
did i even leave a mark?
or was i the has-been that never was
the number one thing in your life
you said, "it meant nothing."
what you meant was, i meant nothing
"You meant nothing."
