Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Back in the day
When I was younger
I wasn't afraid
Of giving my heart to you
Now and again
I get sentimental
But I know it's just a phase I'm going through
And every time I start to slip
I just remind myself
I need only think of it
I went through so much hell
You say ya want to get things back
The way they used to be
Can you give me one good reason
Why should I, darling
Why should I care?
Why should I care for you?
Why should I care?
Why should I care for you?
Why should I care?
Why should I care for you?
Oh darling, why should I care?
Why should I care?
Back in the day
I should of been wiser
But what can I say
I should of been onto you
But I was afraid
That you'd break my heart in two
Fate would have it that you broke it anyway, baby
And every time I close my eyes
I just remind myself
You told about a million lies
You put my heart through hell
And now you want to get with me
Just for old times sake
Well I am not about to make that same mistake
Why should I care?
Why should I care for you?
Why should I care?
Why should I care for you?
Why should I care?
Why should I care for you?
Oh darling, tell me why should I care?
Why should I care?
You see a girl that you gave all your love
I see a girl you took advantage of
You see a girl that you cannot forget
I see a man that I cannot forgive
Tell me why
Why should I care for you?
Why should I care?
Why should I care for you?
Why should I give a chance, baby?
Why should I care for you?
Oh, why should I care, should I care?
Why should I care?
Back in the day when I was young (why should I care for you?)
I wasn't afraid to love
Back in the day (why should I care for you?)
You were the one what was I thinking of
Back in the day (why should I care for you?)
Should have been wiser
Should have been onto you
But I was afraid I make a mistake (why should I care for you?)
No one knows, tell me why
Why should I care for you?
Why should I care?
Why should I care for you?
Why should I care?
Why should I care for you?
Why should I care?
Why should I care?
Why should I care?
Why should I care for you?
Why should I care?
When I was younger
I wasn't afraid
Of giving my heart to you
Now and again
I get sentimental
But I know it's just a phase I'm going through
And every time I start to slip

I need only think of it
I went through so much hell
You say ya want to get things back
The way they used to be
Can you give me one good reason
Why should I, darling
Why should I care?
Why should I care for you?
Why should I care?
Why should I care for you?
Why should I care?
Why should I care for you?
Oh darling, why should I care?
Why should I care?

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
cant believe nobodys commented to me this is about her ex boyfriend who she adored but he treated her badly they split but now he wants her back and she knows it would be a bad idea but shes still questioning him "why should I care"
