Seasick, Yet Still Docked Lyrics

"Wish I knew the way to reach the one I love There is no way Wish I had the charm to attract the one I love But you see, I've got no charm"

Those lyrics are so heartbreaking. I think this song is about comparing yourself to the one you love, and ultimately feeling inferior. The line "far from where I'm determined to go" really exudes this to me. The person you're in love with (and maybe haven't told) has gotten very far in life, while you can't help but think you're a loser.
