Cover art for Answering Machine lyrics by Matt Nathanson

I think it's actually the opposite of what GoDeeper said, though I think his or her analysis was quite good.

I think he is being stubborn, but the fact that he's singing the song, the fact that he wants her to see how great he is, the fact that his new girlfriend is just like his ex all belies that he is not really over her at all.
