    General CommentI think JJ and this girl have outsiders (probably friends) trying to tell them that their relationship won't work and they are wasting their time. He's saying that these people need to worry about themselves and let JJ and his girl decide. He is sarcastically saying that they are "wasting" their time if they get together, but in reality, they love being together...to get to know each other. How would they find out if they love each other if they don't try?

    General CommentOh, but everybody thinks
    That everybody knows
    About everybody else
    Nobody knows anything about themselves
    'Cause they're all worried about everybody else

    couldn't have said it better than swonlia.. though i like this song because it tells you about being in a society where everyone thinks they know what's best for you, but in reality, you want the best for yourself, too.

    General CommentThis song has an awesome beat to it, and the guitar rifts are very soothing. Everyone has made correct comments on this song so far. Bad-ass song!
