You're trying on a brand new dress
But you haven't worn the old one yet
You've come too far to turn around now
Your giving up the good fight
When you're as strong as anyone
You're back where you started from
You're staring down the stars
Jealous of the moon
You wish you could fly
But you're staying where you are
There's nothing you can do
If you're too scared to try
You drag your pretty head around
Swearing you're gonna drown
With a beautiful sigh in a river of lies
Why don't you call me
I could save you
Together we'll find a god we can pray to
That will take you by the hand
I hate to see a friend of mine
Laughing out loud when she's crying inside
But you've got your pride
But you haven't worn the old one yet
You've come too far to turn around now
Your giving up the good fight
When you're as strong as anyone
You're back where you started from
You're staring down the stars
Jealous of the moon
You wish you could fly
But you're staying where you are
There's nothing you can do
If you're too scared to try
You drag your pretty head around
Swearing you're gonna drown
With a beautiful sigh in a river of lies
Why don't you call me
I could save you
Together we'll find a god we can pray to
That will take you by the hand
I hate to see a friend of mine
Laughing out loud when she's crying inside
But you've got your pride

she's struggling a lot...with her past, anxiety maybe, shyness, and just overall, the problem of being too afraid to face the music and step outside from under the shade and meet people, do things, become who she wants to really be. but she's so scared..and it hurts him to see her so weak and fragile just because she's afraid of failing or just trying at all...
she pretends that she's fine and that everything's just dandy, but underneath this little show, he knows her and knows that she's really hurting and wishes she was living in that fantasy of a better life.
In the intro, he's saying, why are you trying something new when you need to fix something old?
She's obviously struggling with a problem, and no one really knows it but him, because she doesn't show it exteriorally.
She is jealous of all the things that are there, that just can BE, without question, and she wishes it could just all be as simples as the way nature is...
very serene.
