Over the summer, I made a new friend. We had so many things in common, a passion for music being one. We both loved Gavin Degraw, and he told me this was one of his favorite songs on the album. That day I learned how to play Overrated on acoustic and then showed him how. From then on, we started to think of each other differently. I can really relate to the lyrics, "You stopped me where I stood," because it's like I stopped dead in my tracks the night I realized how much I cared about this guy. And I often wondered what he and I would "be like" if we ever got serious. Compared to being with him, everything else in life seemed overrated to me. And that's what Gavin is singing about--how the person you are falling for makes everything else around you seem like an exaggeration.
