Overly enthused, easily confused.
Do you really even have to ask,
Why you feel so, why you feel so used?
Common obligations, common complications.
She said to me in the dark,
That it was just like suicide
And that you really don't want to die
But you've said it so many times.
Like a musical trend, you see it as a phase.
Predictable film with a forgettable end.
Why does boy meet girl leave me feeling ripped off?
The love police have been tipped off.
Following a trail of denial they've all got my file,
Saying worrying for the knockoff, guilt for the clean up
You say keep your chin up.
Here we are in the open air.
The glow of our godless season,
we're fighting for no reason, we both want the same things.
And it's just like suicide,
I really don't want to die,
But we've been through this so many times.
It's just like suicide,
I really don't want to die,
But the choice ain't mine.
Do you really even have to ask,

But we've been through this so many times.
It's just like suicide,
I really don't want to die,
But the choice ain't mine.

People were over all the time. Hush Records had a Christmas party there. It was right after Kenna broke up with me and I had just started dating Corrina Repp. I was playing drums in her band. We played music together and we had real connections. But at that point, I had no ability to keep a relationship together. I really liked her but I had just been through the wringer with Kenna. I wasn’t prepared for it.
We’re still really good friends. When she got married, I wrote “On The Subject Of Her New Gold Star.” She got a gold star tattooed on her back for her husband, Matt.
But yeah, “Blue Period” is about me, a stuffed monkey, a bottle of whiskey, and Corrina."
"Why does boy meet girl leave me feeling ripped off?" - this is a reference to Ben Afleck leaving KOLS without a real goodbye. He was originally writing with about Ben but changed it to "girl" to make it sound less of a homosexual sorta song. Which brings up another point. KOLS's homophobia. This homophobia is obviously referred to in the line: "You say keep your chin up" which was a line in the sexually charged 60's movie The Trip.
