This is what I look like today
And I'm trying not to pull out my hair
I'm trying not to show it 'cause I'm far too shy to grow it back there
That's probably why I like wearing hats
There's no denying I'm deferring the facts
Avoiding confrontation
Lacks tact in a situation
Behind every line is a lesson yet to learn
But if you ask me
The feeling that I'm feeling is overwhelming
And oh, it goes to show
I've so much to know
I wrote this for my prettiest friend
Who while trying not to prove that I care
Trying not to make all my moves in one motion and scare her away
Well she can't see she's making me crazy now
I don't believe she knows she's amazing how
She has me holding my breathe
So I'd never guess that I'm a none such unsuitable, suited for her
But if you ask me
The feeling that I'm feeling is complimentery
And oh, it goes to show
The moral of the story is boy loves girl
And so on the way that it unfolds is yet to be told
I know that I should be brave
Even pretty can be seen by the blind
I know that I cannot wait
Until the day we finally learn how to find each other
Redefining open minds
And if you ask me
The feeling that I'm feeling is overjoyed
And it's golden, it goes to show then
The ending of this song should be left alone
And so on 'cause the way it unfolds is yet to be told
And I'm trying not to pull out my hair
I'm trying not to show it 'cause I'm far too shy to grow it back there
That's probably why I like wearing hats
There's no denying I'm deferring the facts
Avoiding confrontation
Lacks tact in a situation
Behind every line is a lesson yet to learn
But if you ask me
The feeling that I'm feeling is overwhelming
And oh, it goes to show
I've so much to know
I wrote this for my prettiest friend
Who while trying not to prove that I care
Trying not to make all my moves in one motion and scare her away
Well she can't see she's making me crazy now
I don't believe she knows she's amazing how
She has me holding my breathe
So I'd never guess that I'm a none such unsuitable, suited for her
But if you ask me
The feeling that I'm feeling is complimentery
And oh, it goes to show
The moral of the story is boy loves girl
And so on the way that it unfolds is yet to be told
I know that I should be brave
Even pretty can be seen by the blind
I know that I cannot wait
Until the day we finally learn how to find each other
Redefining open minds
And if you ask me
The feeling that I'm feeling is overjoyed
And it's golden, it goes to show then
The ending of this song should be left alone
And so on 'cause the way it unfolds is yet to be told

What most of you probably do not know is that there is a condition called "trichotillomania". This is a hair pulling condition. A person with 'trich' always has an urge to pull his or her hair. if you want more info about this, google it. But I want to address the possibility of him referring to this.
Trich forces a person to always feel insecure, especially about one's hair. The person feels ugly, despite how pretty she is on the outside, and even on the inside. Wearing hats is a popular way for a person with Trich to hide one's bald spots, and shows obvious insecurity.
His lines that i copied above show that perhaps this is what this girl has. Perhaps she has trich, and is insecure about the way she looks. He is scared to tell her she is pretty for fear of upsetting her. Because no matter what anyone tells her, its sooo hard for her to see the beauty she possesses. Even the most important person to her could not tell her that she is beautiful. The insecurity she has is too overpowering.
"The feeling that I'm feeling is overwhelming"
This insecurity is overwhelming. More than anyone can take away fully. He can help her. He can compliment her. He can talk to her aboutthings, but he cannot fully take away this insecurity.
"But if you ask me
The feeling that I'm feeling is complimentery
And oh, it goes to show
The moral of the story is boy loves girl
And so on the way that it unfolds is yet to be told"
He is feeling that all he wants to do is make her feel like the beautiful girl she is. The "boy loves girl" line is what shows that nothign else in the world matters. This silly little condition she has has nothing to do with it. He loves her, and that's all that matters.
When you think about it, thats just an exmple of one paralyzing aspect in a relationship. What a beautiful message of 'that is all that matters, boy loves girl'.
"I know that I should be brave
Even pretty can be seen by the blind"
I think this part proves that he is really talking about the girl's inner beauty. You do not need to see someone's outer-beauty to know how beautiful the person really is.
Thanks for listening
SERIOUSLY IT IS IN THE STORY OF MY LIFE.
Even though she isn't exactly the prettiest, and the skinniest of girl BUT I STILL LOVE HER!
SHE ALSO HURT HER RIGHT FOOT!
OMG I <3 HER!
FAT CHICKS FOR LIFE
this song is the only song that truly suits my feelings towards a friend of mine.
you're friends with a girl who is absolutely gorgeous in every way but dont want to tell her for fear of possibly ruining a great friendship and it drives you frikkin bonkers.
I know that I should be brave
Even pretty can be seen by the blind
I know that I cannot wait
Until the day we finally learn how to find each other
Redefining open minds
he's a genius! he knows how to sum up his feelings, put it into words, turn it into music and then share them to people like me!!
i am in a middle of a friendship - that i think is pretty special. and i cannot wait until he realises that taking a chance is not so bad.
