Those you posted are the kind of lyrics 'Perfectly Clear' is filled with. I don't know what it is with Jewel, her lyrics can be wonderfully insightful but also sickeningly insipid.
I think because that album is kind of a love letter to her husband Ty, so it's a bit sickly sweet and school-girlish. The lyrics to Rosey And Mick are quite poignant but I think that's a much older song. Btw, did you know that Linda's Heart Like A Wheel was her inspiration for that album? It's doesn't live up to that though.
