I can relate to this song a lot, but in a different way. I personally take this song about a guy who tries to love a girl, and the girl loves him a lot, but she doesn't pay attention on how the guy feels. The guy acts like he doesn't care about her, and just simply there to "pass the time" and saying that he has better things to do, such as "catch a dream".
"She held the world upon a string
But she didn't ever hold me
Spun the stars on her fingernails
But it never made her happy
Cause she couldn't ever have me
She said she'd won the world at a carnival
But she could never win me
Cause she couldn't ever catch me"
The girl is happy that she loves him, but it never made her happy because she doesn't think he feels the same, but he actually does. She couldn't catch him because she doesn't realize how he feels and what he is trying to do.
"I, I know why
Because when I look in her eyes
I just see the sky
When I look in her eyes
Well I, just see the sky"
He tries to tell her, but she gets distracted and never listens to what he has to say about her.
"I don’t love you I'm just passing the time
You could love me if I knew how to lie
But who could love me?
I am out of my mind
Throwing a line out to sea
To see if I can catch a dream"
Denying her because he can't help that he can't say anything to her without being distracted. He thinks that's he's crazy and is surprised that a girl loves him so much.
"The sun was always in her eyes
She didn't even see me
But that girl had so much love
she'd wanna kiss you all the time
Yeah, she'd wanna kiss you all the time"
She loves him, but she still can't see what he has to say.
She said she won the world at a carnival
But I'm sure I didn’t ruin her
Just made her more interesting
I'm sure I didn’t ruin her
Just made her more interesting
Their crazy relationship is just confusing people around them, but he didn't break her heart, he made her more boy-crazed and in-love.
That's my opinion, not many people may agree with me though.
