This song rips, so infectiously catchy, interesting to research it and not find much, so I'll try to contribute. This song was in But I'm a Cheerleader, a v cute 90s gay romcom about people in conversational therapy trying and failing to fit into the dominant straight culture. it was used in a montage of the main couple finding love in each other :p

the song is great for teen romance because it evokes a high school setting, ("in the hall"), i think its about the narrator helping someone find the courage/confidence to tell that narrator how they feel, its talks about connecting in the past and what the other person is missing when they dont spill their beans, its encouraging, romantic, honest, all of the things that the really amazing instrumentation implies.

for musicians, key is g, the main progression is I-iv-I-IV-I-iv-IV-V, and i think they're just hanging on the IV for the bridge/build up. working out the melodies, though i'm pretty sure its a melodica in the recording.
