I was thinking about singing this song but i am hesitant as a friend told me that he thought the song was about a promiscuous woman and that it was wrote by Patrick after they had fallen out.
I find this to be an extremely narrow minded view. I think that he shows his dislike to things that she is fond of be it sex or otherwise. He is attracted to her beauty and it is how this beautiful girl views the world that annoys him. I also get the feeling that this girl was rather flippant with his thoughts and poems.
This is something that hurt Patrick deeply he cant understand how she can dismiss these things that are so important to him. He then comes to the realization that he could never have a relationship with her or any girl like her. It is big moment in Patrick's life.
This song is so great i could go on for ages. but i was just looking for some other insights into the song
