this kind of reminds me of this ..friend i had, who said he only felt he could be serious and open with me when we were being 'intimate'. maybe that's what this is about a lil bit - he can't share how he feels about this girl unless it's dimly lit and theyre alone in her room. otherwise he just finds it hard to be serious?
