No Picture Joseph Average	#1 by Joseph Ross at Jan 14, 2006 at 7:37 PM EST
	Could also be a reference to the old movie called "Mannequin", in which a mannequin comes to life and has an actual relationship with a man.

No Picture Miguel Average	#2 by Miguel Sanchez at Feb 19, 2006 at 3:55 PM EST
	This song perfectly describes how I hope my exes think about me in a few years. "The one that got away" nostalgia. I love the imagery of "blinds drawn..." It's also my favorite MTB song.

No Picture CoRey Rhythm Player	#3 by CoRey TayLor at Mar 18, 2006 at 12:00 PM EST
	My ex sent me this song and told me that he felt this way about me. Now we\'re together again!

No Picture The Major Rajor Rhythm Player	#5 by The Major Rajor . at Jun 23, 2006 at 12:32 PM EST
	its about a relationship that was pretty sexual, it was maybe abrubptly ended and its been a few years, he sees her and has been lonely since then, remembing when they were together, and knows he shouldnt get involved again but really misses it.

No Picture Joey Professional Badass	#6 by Joey AkA oddish at Jul 9, 2006 at 7:09 PM EST
	No way... He definetely sees the person and not a poster. He's shaking and telling himself to move on-- not to turn back and try to interface with her.

No Picture Matt Rhythm Player	#7 by Matt Freeman at Aug 4, 2006 at 4:30 AM EST
	hemingway wrote overly verbose flower prose for his high school paper... went to paris and learned that subtle mastery was the way to really pack an emotional whallop. that's what that this is, subtle ache. damn. i want to write more like these guys...

No Picture Colin Average	#8 by Colin D at Sep 10, 2006 at 3:42 AM EST
	I love the lyrics to this song. Yes, the having sex and listening to jazz... but I love MTB's imagery... blinds drawn at 12 noon. It's just beautiful and puts me in the best mood.

No Picture Hilary Wanna Be	#9 by Hilary at Oct 21, 2006 at 4:58 AM EST

No Picture jordan Average	#12 by jordan sjsjtkiris at Mar 19, 2007 at 3:11 PM EST
	It grows on you.

No Picture gab Average	#13 by gab gonzalez at May 31, 2007 at 12:00 AM EST
	yellowstar seems to have it pretty cleanly.. he sees her but she doesn't notice him, he recalls some fond memories of her, and gets anxious.. telling himself to continue moving.

No Picture Walk3rkid Average	#14 by Walk3rkid . at Jun 9, 2007 at 7:09 AM EST
	I always thought that this song reads like it's about a person falling in love with a mannequin, hence the store window, and hence the line "she was something else"

No Picture by fires light Rhythm Player	#15 by by fires light she cried at Jun 15, 2007 at 1:20 PM EST
	i love this song its pretty self explanatory

No Picture Galen Wanna Be	#16 by Galen at Jul 1, 2007 at 8:05 PM EST
	if she were still standing there, like a statue, he would ache forever...

No Picture Zach Average	#17 by Zach Eisenman at Jul 30, 2007 at 1:04 PM EST
