The theme is "name" and how singer "wont tell them your name", it's about standing by someone in recovery from whatever. It gets more specific to include people who hide their feelings for the sake of masking. Abused people tend to do that. They dont like to show their hurt side. Not telling someone your name, means you wont reveal who they are and that you 'll listen to their pain, that they can go on masking as much as they want. Ultimately means everyone needs a trusting friend, someone who will listen to them.
Johnny Rzeznik confirmed that the song is about his relationship with Kennedy (former MTV VJ). (Wikipedia credits the book The Kennedy Chronicles by Kennedy, 2013, Macmillan, pp 103-105.) Rzeznik said “I was trying to capture a moment…it was pretty interesting to have a song inspired by a moment. And I thought it was a very sweet song.” He has also revealed that he came up with the riff by accident when he was tuning his guitar.
