i love this song a lot and it makes me sad that no one's commented on it in over a year :[ anyway, i can see where the above comments are coming from but i believe it's about someone with anxiety disorder or an avoidant personality; i can especially see this because that's how i am and i can see where they're coming from. the second verse especially--he's saying even though everyone supposedly cares for him, he still can't bring himself to tell them how he really feels inside. he doesn't trust that they'll be there waiting for him, so he just avoids the whole ordeal. he thinks things would be better off if he just kept to himself and said "goodbye to everyone i know." but in any case, this is a fantastic song and it's permanently stuck in my head :]

yes for some reason this song immediately struck me to be about this....i always thought colorblind was along the same lines it makes me think of panic attacks....even though this song is more upbeat I it seems darker than colorblind to me.... colorblind is more hopeful
