although Dave did say himself the song is about his step mother.. i can only come to one conclusion about the song. To me, it reminds me of Mandy Moore's character in " A Walk To Remember", I cant remember the character's name but she was always eclectic, a little strange and different from everyone else. She didn't conform to the usual. She was a religious girl and tried to show people the light in Jesus Christ, but all they did was mock her for not conforming. This reminds me of the sad and lonely girl in "Tisbury Lane". She's a girl with a lot to prove.. one that wants to be accepted and wants her word to be heard. She's also "...part of the problem too" because she's been rejected so many times that it is hard to let anyone in. She's trying to let people know her idea's , about her love for jesus maybe. the line where it says "watching her with eyes closed" is probably the people who see her and don't have the guts to help her out.. she's probably so sick of everyone beating her down, that she doesnt care anymore..
what a deep song..
sorry if that's a bit scrambled..
it was hard to put words to how i felt..
