Libby18, you made a great point about this song that I've never realized. I've always seen it as the song that is about the average American girl. I guess the song can go both ways, but I tend to think it has a little more to do with the individual girl rather than the nation. I also agree that this song is brilliant and I really like how honest this song is. He sings about issues that are hear and are everywhere. I think it is simply about a girl just trying to figure out who she is and who just wants to be accepted. At least that's how I've always sensed it, partially because I've been there and am still dealing with some of these issues.
I think the most promising part of this song is the last verse. I am a Christian and I believe that this part of the song can even be inspiring to those who are not Christians. It reassures that even if it seems like no one loves you, God always does, and He always will.
