Lyric discussion by Artygal12 

I love this song. Just getting that out there, but Sk8er Boi was my favorite song when I was younger, with Girlfriend as a close second.

I never really got this song until I saw a fan-made video of it (Search Sk8er Boi Sims 2 on youtube) when I was about 10 or 11. I think that what she was trying to say with this was basically "Don't miss out on anything or you'll regret it later." Verse by verse:

She likes him, and he likes her, but she's too afraid to lose her status to let him know.

She finds somebody else, but as soon as she sees him as a rock star, she wants him again.

When she gets to the concert, she finds out that the friends who were so very against her dating him have changed to a point unrecognizable to her, and he's moved on and found somebody else. She's lost everything that she could have had because she was scared.

She should have taken the risk.

I know how this feels. I had a crush on one of my best guy friends, and I spent the last nine weeks of school freaking out because I wasn't sure what to do, but once I told him, I realized that it was a risk that I had had to take.

A message to any girls out there: Take the risk. Jump off that cliff. You like him? Let him know. He just might be worth the risk and if he isn't then he shouldn't matter to you anyway. <3
