For me this song is about finding yourself in the same waiting room or at a bus stop, in this case probably a corridor with a beautiful girl who’s there on her own An opportunity which most alpha males would lap up without any hesitation. However the narrator is not one of them. Even though this desired girl’s body language suggests a willingness to be spoken to and a possibility that she might like him back, he knows that his shyness will always prevail and he won’t say or do a damn thing. He has a love/hate relationship with his condition of being overly shy. He hates the fact that it will cause him to let such an opportunity pass him by, So much so that he wishes he’d been ‘someone else’ perhaps even the very type of person he despises, the alpha male. He’s even seeked help by seeing a ’doctor’ but wouldn’t do what he prescribed because, on the other hand, he finds his condition comforting and therefore difficult to let go of. There’s always a payoff. Perhaps if he wasn’t so shy he wouldn’t have the inspiration to write such a beautiful song, Its also what makes him unique from the ‘someone else’ he wishes he could’ve been ……. then again it could be about drugs;)
