Love this song. It's exactly how I feel... So catchy too!
i'm in love with this song. it's so catchy and the lyrics describe exactly how i feel about this one guy. the funny thing is, that same guy showed me this song(:

Lovely, sums up the feelings one has when they are in love with someone. "It's hard to stay cool when you smile at me" love it
So in love with this song. Perfectly explains the complexity of how messed up things can get when you care for someone. It honestly warms my heart that there is someone who posted 12 minutes before me... just proves how this song stabs the whole lack of sleep issue right in the heart.
I smile everytime I hear this.
when i first heard it i was driving so i didn't hear all the lyrics but my first impression was he wanted to sleep with his girlfriend but she wouldn't do it because she was abstinent or wanted to wait or something, in turn making him wait. reading the lyrics and listening to the song on youtube, i'd say Vball has it right
I love this song :) I agree with most of the meanings, but I'm also curious what they mean by sister fair!
i adore this song. at first i thought it was just a typical "unrequited" love song.. but did anyone else pick up the vibe that maybe the singer (in the song) is possibly in a relationship/engaged/married to one girl... and possibly in love with her sister?
"when you turn your eyes.." (maybe the girl he really loves realizes this but feels guilty, doesn't want to let on--ignores it) "your sister fair" --- the girl he's currently with but doesn't love.
hah, that's just me :)
