Cover art for Jeannie's Diary lyrics by Eels

This song is about being obsessed about a girl, even though you can't completely understand her. People seem so much more interested when you're obsessed with them. But it also feels harder to accept why they won't have you. And he just wants to feel that he has the chance to be written about in her diary. Just one page, and he'd be happy.
