It's about trying to get over a girl who's gotten over you and moved on, and you're just left there trying to mend the broken pieces but you can't. There's also some personal reference to the girl...

"My emotions are something that I will always hide" ...that only Tom and the girl the songs this about knows.

In any case, it's an amazing song, perhaps the best on the demo.

I really like this song. But then it's ruined when tom says "it's not gonna work"
But all in all I like it.

"I'm all shook up as I get all nervous inside
My emotions are something that I will always hide"

Totally describes me

was he supposed to say "its not gonna work"?

this is probably one of my favorite old blink songs .. i had a girlfriend for a year and a half and to be honest this song was pretty much how i felt when things jsut didnt make sense and she confused the hell outta me. honestly like i would do so much for this girl and shed always be flirting with other guys ebing shady and tehn try and tell me all the derogatory statements i would say to her and that offended her its really amazing how similar tom and mark feel about girls as i do
they love them and cant help how girls affect them .. menawhile they hate them and girls are just such a fuckiing drag ...complaining and all this bullshit they feed you ..fuck with your head ( this is not to all girls just i guess teh ones i keep getting involved with which sucks) anywya ill post up some more thoughts on blink 182 they are one of my favorite bands tom and mark absolutley nail every lyric in most of there songs when your a highschool kid

I think the guy tries to be naive inside.he is trying to get out of his problems and starts a new life but it s so hard that never before.no way to get her out of my mind no way to bury her memories.nothing will gonna work.so he sucked ass...
