I thought I had my girl but she ran away
My car got stolen and I'm gonna be late
For work this week, make that the fourth day straight
But I'm fine with it
I thought I had it all but I gave it away
I quit that old job now I'm doing okay
Those material things they can't get in my way
Cause I'm over it
( I feel that from the first two stanza's are examples of the endless possibilities that can happen. and him not dwelling over the bad things and just kind of accepting it and moving on with life.)
But whatever she may be
She could be money, cars, fear of the dark
Your best friends or just strangers in bars
Whoever she is, whoever she may be
One thing's for sure, you don't have to worry
( I feel that the word 'She' is used as a metaphor to anything that one may care of and is having trouble with. Basically he's saying that whatever/whoever 'she' is that someone you shouldn't worry or stress about 'she')
Yeah this is the part where you find out who you are
And these are the friends, those who've been there from the start
So to hell with the bad news
Dirt on your new shoes
It rained all of May 'til the month of June
[I feel that it means that we should be learning more about ourself and finding who we are. And to focus and appreciate the friends that know you and that have been supporting you and to spend time with your true friends. Not to let the bad news (which he uses dirt on your new shoes and raining all of june and may as examples) get to you.
Every day in every way she will look the same
Every care you used to have just seems to float away
Every day in every way she will look the same
Every care you used to have just seems to float away
To hell with your new shit
And whether or not you think you fit in
(I feel that in this stanza he's saying as the days pass you will realise that the 'she' you were worrying about will be clear and all the solution will be clear. Also the last two lines in the stanza shows that you shouldn't have to please people by knowing all the 'latest' gossips or trends and worrying about fitting in with a group of people. Basically saying to be yourself and stop thinking of what others will think too much.)
She could be money, cars, fear of the dark
Your best friends or just strangers in bars
Whoever she is, whoever she may be
One thing's for sure
She could be rainy days, minimum wage,
A book that ends with no last page
Whoever she is, whoever she may be
One thing's for sure, you don't have to worry
(Basically in the last two stanza's he's listing all the problems that one could be facing making the word she a metaphor to all the problems again. And stating once again to not worry, and look ahead with a positive mindset.)
Thats what I have interpreted from the song at least. Hope it helps or fascinates anyone.
