That Girl Has Love

I believe that this song is about a girl who committed suicide at 17. She had what looked to be a perfect life - great family, great friends, a boyfriend who cared, basically all around a lot of love. She was probably a confident girl - she told the singer that she would date him "from september to december." Yet, even with all of this, she didn't see the good in life. No one knew though, but after she kills herself she "has nothing to hide" and now sees things that only come in dreams as she is dead. The relationship was so real and raw that the singer can never forget it, it could never be fake. Her family, friends, and all that loved and still love her will always think of her as 17 - thus, "she'll always be seventeen."

i think nothingelsecompares is right. this song didn't at first, but now it reminds me of one of my best friends, a girl who is smart, attractive, funny, and she is awesome at guitar and singing, she could get famous because of her vocal and guitar skills, but i was talking to her about me being depressed and she said that she knew how i felt, and i asked her how she knew and she showed me the underside of her arm where she cuts herself, and it shocked me so much, i just about cry whenever i hear this song or think about her

Good song, reminds me of random girls, but I have no clue what it means.

I think this song is about a girl (that he dated) that ended her life too quickly. And she couldnt see all the good things in her life and all the people that loved her.

she will always be remembered as 17.

I think that it's about a girl who he dated who he was completely head over heels for, who killed herself when she was 17. But regardless, to him she'll always be remembered as extraordinary in a number of ways. Sad song. One of their really good ones, I think.

this is one of my faves. really sad :(

but easily one of the best songs on the album

she told me i would date her from september to december -i read that as planned suicide.

she kept all the pain inside now she has got nothing to hide -she had issues but she didn't want to upset anyone by telling them/she thought she had to appear perfect

i really like this song and has many ppl have said ots bout a gal he dated who killed her self when she was 17......its one of their best!

Does anyone know if it is a true story?
