Lyric discussion by songmeaningad 

I'm puzzled as to what specifically this is referring to, or if it is something specific at all (could be a more generic, poetic rendering of the flow of changing emotions thru time ??)

What I gather, in short (very short) is that Red is a weirdo and insecure about being so; Brown is a friend (or was?).

There's a sense (literally from the words) that whatever issues (if there is one) is not resolved, or not resolved pleasantly. This contrasts with how the music makes me feel--namely that "things will be okay" or "things aren't that bad" or "even though change is tough you'll make it thru."

I hope I'm not totally missing the point or something really obvious. I've been fascinated with this song since I first heard it in Fall 2007. It was a sorta bad time for me and this song always "lifted my spirits" if only for a short bit and/or for just a little bit. "She sings differently than anyone" sspecifically speaks to me, as I've been referred to as "weird" thru-out my life, with negative, neutral, and emphatically positive remarks by numerous others. The real point I guess is that I, myself, feel weird compared to other people...

Yeah, but if anyone has anything about this song, it's meaning, their take on it, I'm very curious, and I'd love to discuss it.

** pardon my typos and bad grammar. I forgot to check. Also, the part about the song lifting my spirits, "for a short bit" I'm referring to duration/time [of spirit-lifting], and "for just a little bit" I'm referring to quantity/intensity... I worded it funny & thought I should clarify.
