Counting Airplanes Lyrics

Cover art for Counting Airplanes lyrics by Train

This is always what I think when I listen to this song: The person singing it is a confused teenage boy, who is questioning his sexuality. He has a crush on another boy, who is openly gay and doesn't really understand, or accept his feelings. "Trying to make sense of the change... So don't try to figure me out I won't try to figure you out " The boy who is singing the song is bullied and one day he is at some local area with his journal and is writing in it about his crush when the bullies come up and take it from him. They read it and discover he is gay and are beating him up when the other boy (his crush) comes up and makes them go away. They then fall in love and walk in to school holding hands, getting a lot of hate but overcoming it. I'm sorry. My comments are always really long. I have a whole music video planned out for this song, i just need people to star in it. Go me :P
