I remember reading that this is about Glenn Gould, the composer, and I thought the '88 was a reference to the number of keys on a piano. After that. It's a happy sad song. It's like, I was a smarter than average child, I had a genius IQ and I was totally below average in my other skills and a bit of a freak oddball and mess. But I grew out of both a bit..here is this beautiful multi talented young woman, Sarah Slean, and she gets him. But to look at her, at first glance it doesn't seem like she'd know what it's like to be a lonely freak out of place in the world. But I guess if she was like everyone else, she'd never have been compelled to make songs and art. So they're kindred spirits and maybe even writing to a part of her own self in the song.
