Its about a girl who's in the background. She seeks popularity, she seeks acceptance. She's made it in the crowd, but she's never been the center of attention. But for whatever reason, she views herself as a misfit, she has a very low self esteem. She is never the center of the spotlight, instead, she's always in the back waiting for someone to notice her. She sees others in her same position and befriends them, hoping to gain a status that would impress the populars. But sadly, nothing she ever does is good enough, in her own eyes... its implied that she might even hate her own life. And that's where the singer falls in, who sees this girl from afar. He sees her do all of this, he sees her constantly hate everything she ever does... and he feels as though he's the only one who understands her. He hates to see her in such a position. So much so, that he can't get her out of his head. -- That's my take on it. I've been in a similar position.
