I agree with what the people above me said. When I hear this song I think of how people perceive one another. When you know a person for a while then you start to think of them a certain way. If the person starts to change then it becomes hard for you to acknowledge that and the relationship, slowly, falls apart. It is very hard to show people different sides to yourselves because they tend to shut it down and will start telling you how you have changed etc. That is how I hear the song, Elliott trying to show the girl that he is more then a depressed soul and she does not want to accept that. She wants Elliott to be one way but I might be wrong. If I am wrong then I apologize, it’s just my opinion.
