Those words, "A girlfriend/that's something that I understand" - they feel like such a deep expression of love. But why? Well, because love never can be explained logically. Love is an intuitive thing, traditionally the domain of poets, but ultimately something which we all understand on a gut level. Here he has pared it down to a single common word: "Girlfriend." That's punk poetry at its best. This song really captures the feeling of how everything seems to make such simple, perfect sense when you're in love.
