ok well everyones interpretations seem to differ slightly. i believe stonedagedqueens is most correct. reasons:
It seems more sexual that being a friend.. and he reminises about the good times with them.. so it cant be just a crush he crushes on from afar either..
My break down:
(Found myself just the other day
In the backyard of a friends place
Thinking about you
Thinking of the crowd you're in,
What you're up to, where you've been,
Just thinking...)
self explainatory... just thinking about her for whatever reason...
(You know the clothes that you wear, and the colour in your hair,
Shouldn't change you,
Now tell me why is it so,
You're bigger than Mighty Joe
At least you think so)
here he just says that the way u dress etc doesnt define the person u are, and just cause u change ur hair or your style, it shouldnt change you as a person.. and he is asking why she thinks she is better than everyone else now.
(God my fingers burn,
Now when I think of touching your hair)
Here this seems a little more sexual, which suggests he used to have something with the girl in the past.. ppl dont generally touch someones hair unless u are really close..other wise its creepy.. but he is just saying that he doesnt like the feeling he gets when he thinks about her, as its not a good feeling
(You have changed so much that I don't know,
If I can call you, and tell you I care)
obvious... doesnt think that she cares enough to talk to him, so he feels he cant call and say hi i still care about you, and see what she is doing to herself and how she have changed.
(And I would love to bring you down,
Plant your feet back on the ground)
he wants to call her to bring her back to reality, and get her of her imaginary pedastal and back down on the ground where everyone else is..
(Threw my smoke down on the ground
Turned my head and I heard the sound, that reminded me
Of the days so young and sweet,
Always so much fun to me
At least I thought so)
basically just saying that he heard something that reminded him of the good times that he had with her.. and that it was fun so he thought
(Now you think you're so damn fine,
You could rule the world,
No not mine,
I don't think so)
but now he feels that she thinks she is too good for him even as a friend. and she thinks she is on top of the world and he wont let her think she is better than him.
(You know the scene that you're in,
And the people that you've been with,
Just get to me
But you think I'm not as cool
As you are so beautiful,
Who you foolin?)
this part generaly says that crowd she is in and hanging out with are the cause and that its annoying him that they have changed her cause they (and her) think they are too cool for him and she if fooling herself.
(Well I'm here to tell you babe,
The game you're in, is just a game
So damn pretentious)
just saying im here and im gonna tell u how it really is! she is playing a game that she doesnt realise it yet. pretentious means making an extravagant outward show..putting on a show..
thats how i see it..feel free to try and correct me breaking it down like that
