This is a great tune, there've been a couple girls in my life that I wanted and they were with someone else. The look on the girls' faces could be worse than the fact that they were with another dude. It was knowing that they'd never look at me like that.

But as you get older you realize that it's just illogical to think like that. If you were "that guy" who'd be you? As long as there is a you, you're him. Well, it's not so easy to write. And the alternative is that she has actually chosen you. Well, you're different, you're missing whatever it is she seems in him. Don't sweat it. That's just the way life is.

Tough not to think like that, though.

Great tune, great feel.
