i know this song is about guided by voices, but to me this song is about a guy who falls in love with one of his friends, who doesnt like him back but keeps leading him on
("I've been five times back to the well/I've been a long time out at your wall/I've been sometimes under your hedge. You had me two times out on a ledge ")
and he just keeps watching her get into bad relationships
("I've seen you one time stumble and fall, but I still love you, you see?")
and he wants to be the one guy who treats her right
("But others will take it out and leave you wanting. I know you've done it before to them
but here's where it ends and where I stand.")
i dont really know if that makes sense, but thats what i get out of the lyrics
