She's exploding trying to fake it and has to let it out, so we get to the chorus and. She can't "walk on eggshells" and just sit around being coy and quiet. But she's bursting she likes this guy and she can't keep it in any longer. The next half of the verse confirms this, she is up front with her feelings and doesn't hide them in. The first half of the first verse details all the ways in which she is imperfect, but, the verse ends, at least she tells the truth always.

The song opens with a rather plucky piano line and a breathy, light tone to Natasha's voice you'd expect from a love song. The story itself is nothing special, what I'll get into here is how it's told, and I'll get a little bit into how the music helps the story along. Does he really like her back or not? It's unstated, but I have my thoughts on the matter. The general story is about a girl who likes a guy, and thinks she likes him back too. Song Analysis: I love a good misdirection based song, and this is one of the ones I've been listening to a whole lot lately. Why fight it now, It isn't gonna hurt you, anyway I know enough to know when someone trusts you How you stumble 'round those words, so wellīy the way you turn me on to your favourite band,īy the way you pour me coffee when I'm too tired to stand,ĭon't be stupid, thinking I've misjudged you My foot was in my mouth the day I met you,Īll my friends they said I'd never get you How you stumble 'round those words so well I'd rather disappear than be faking it, anyway The crazy things I'm saying when you get near me We'll walk on eggshells so you don't hear More likely to throw rocks up at your window I'm not the kind of girl you kiss in public I'm not the kind of girl you bring to mother No offense intended TashBed, you are a great songwriter!! But I'm not! Her songs are great too, and some are even better than this one ("Unwritten", "The One That Got Away")! But this was the one I felt like analyzing, so that's where I'm going with it. Bedingfield, which may make it seem like I'm slighting her. It's the only song on the album not cowritten by Ms. But yet, it's a rather lovely little acoustic rock number that would have contended for top 50-ish single of the year had it ever been released. The Song: Featured on the American release of her Unwritten album, Natasha Bedingfield's "Stumble" was never a single.
