I Stand Corrected Lyrics

I think that he loves this girl, but he can't stand the way that she can't leave anything that he says alone without finding some obscure meaning, distorting it, and holding it against him. He can't stand that she won't admit that she has her own issues. It kind of follows on from Oxford Comma, maybe? I don't know. I find that the first half of the song is really sarcastic, but when he "forget[s] the protocol" he wants to just let everything go, and just be with her. He wants to ignore her constant nagging, and her inability to be wrong. Maybe he can.
