Lyric discussion by funkiest monk 

Cover art for Fool to Think lyrics by Dave Matthews Band

This is such an emotionally correct song. Its clear a lot of people can identify with this song, i certainly can. The meaning is fairly clear, a man thinks a woman likes him and fantasises about them being together, but doesn't want to take the plunge and ask her about it. He suspects and later finds out that the whole thing was in his head (or was it...?)

Easily one of dave's best lyrics and one i can identify with so easily 'The silence in me screaming won't you come and get me!' So true.

Good music too. The riff used is similar to that of message in a bottle by the police, (it uses the same intervals but starts a fret down). It gives the song a very POlicey stingy feel.
