The song "Love Story" and this(Messenger) are actually 2 songs in 1. They play back-to-back on the album, and EVERY Lagwagon concert I've been to they play both songs back-to-back as if it was one long song. In my opinion, Love Story is about Joey being in a love triangle with someone he loves, but cant let the cat out of the bag, cause its a sticky situation. Hes in a situation where he HAS to make a move towards his feelings, but hes going against his morals. This song(Messenger) is where hes trying to confide in friends, and they are all telling him things he doesn't want to here, or are threatening him in a way. He's sick of his friends, cause they're all going to play as drama queens and tell everybody whats going on, and he's only trying to confide in his feelings. He feels betrayed and hurt, but hes also in a sticky situation.
Listen to both songs back-to-back, and you'll realize.
