Ok, when I went through some serious crap this songs finally made sense. Helped me alot.

Anyway it's a song from the perspective of a friend to someone who's really having a heck of a time figuring themselves out but they don't want anyone to know.

The person is contantly trying to be something specific and evertime they aren't it gets them down. They constantly try to change themselves to be more perfect or something and they put up a front in the mean time so noone catches on.

But a friend will catch on, and that's the other thing the song is about, is how friends will always know and always be there.

I dunno, I've been there though, trying to change myself and failing, always trying to grasp up at stuff I want to be or stuff I'm missing and failing to realize I already had what I was looking for. I was always hoping for everything to click and it didn't, not the way I was thinking anyway.

When you've been there it all makes sense.
