I have always enjoyed this song for its simplicity. Especially the way the lyrics move slightly out-of-step with the music. In other words, I love Nick's "phrasing." What does this song mean to me? Well. . . have you ever had a friend that you really wanted to have a closer relationship with. . . Someone who is always telling you just how special they think you are? Yet, for whatever reason, they don't want to have a closer relationship with YOU?
