in the music hit by macey gray, my partner once brought up that he wasnt sure of the lyrics, and sang to me:
"i try to say goodbye and i choke,
try to walk away and i stumble,
no point trying to hide it, its clear,
i wear goggles when you are not there."
and yes, if you listen to the song, it does sound like shes singing about goggles.
