i think this song is about someone who looks one way and even though they can change it, they don't want to; it's their shell. i know i'm fat, and sometimes i don't want to change it because i know it keeps people away, and that's not so bad. this kid tells himself he likes the way he is even though he doesn't because he's scared to change. at the end, when jewel says she sometimes feels the same it's to say that we're all somewhat afraid of change but hey, that's okay.
