Elle: *mumbles*
Hol: *turns down CD* sorry sweetheart?
Elle: How can you hate someone and love them at the same time?
Hol: *slightly stunned silence*
...and so continued a stunted conversation until the penny dropped. I had left my old Stacie Orrico CD in the CD player and they had been listening to 'Stuck'.
The line goes "I hate you but I love you; I can't stop thinking of you; It's true, I'm stuck on you"
So Elle had heard the lyric, thought about it and understood it. Then realised that the two ideas were incompatible and questioned it.
Wow.
If only we could apply this to the lyrics we sing and the lives we live a little more often...
