There's a Kate Bush song on 'The Dreaming' that I thought had the most beautifully honest lyric I had ever heard: 'How come I really bore you?' Turns out it's, 'Not until I'm ready for you.'
A childhood belief about misheard lyrics

- The old classic by the Go-Go's "Our Lips are Sealed" I used to think they said "honest I see you"— Euge
