I think this song is about a guy that is really afraid of messing up on his date, so he takes all posible precautions and wants more time so he can get more ready than he already is. The video is the coolest!

this is a song for the common people
when he says
In the car, I just can't wait...
To pick you up on our very first date
Is it cool if I hold your hand?
Is it wrong if I think it's lame to dance?
Do you like my stupid hair?
Would you guess that I didn't know what to wear?
I'm just scared of what you'll think.
You make me nervous so I really can't eat

you understand were he is coming from because everyone feels the same before a date.

I thinks its sooo cool this song because this is what normally everyone would feel in their first date. You are scared of what she/he will think of you. And its true that you are around with a lot of people and you get kind of jealous and you just want to make them disappear and just stay with your date and in the night you want it to last FOREVER... This song is soo cool!!!

Dude calm down.... and if it is only up to blink-182 to interpret there songs, why are you at this website?

You dudes! The band is being sarcastic!They make fun of sentimental simpletons who try to much not to screw up. They also make fun of the overall "first date cliche".

I think this is what it's about, and if it's not well, I will still think this because it why I like the song. I think it's about a guy and he's on the first date, and doesn't know what this girl is like... She might not think some things are cool, and he doesn't know what kind of guys she likes. Anyway, it asks all these questions in the verses of what he's thinking. But in the chorus he's all excited, and it's what he really wants to say but doesnt want to risk it. So it's like he's all nervous in the verses, but the chorus is what he wants the date to go like.

this song is about Toms first date and how he was so nervous and didnt know what to say or do cause it was all new to him.

In this song, tom's is expresing his feelings about gonig on his first date with a girl. He goes through what most guys go through and as the time gets closer to when he meets her, he gets anxious, asking questions. "Is it cool if i hold your hand?", "Would you guess that i didnt know what to wear". He uses contradictions such as "Do you like my stupid hair?" Because he wants to please her, as mentioned earlier, he doesnt know what the girl is looknig for, what she likes etc. When the chorus comes in, tom expresses a rush to get things done and enjoy the night as much as possible, "Lets go." "Don't wait." The second verse is sweet talknig the girl, "When you smile i melt inside", "i'm jealous of everybody in the room." And by the end of the verse he's talking about how he is getting more nervous as they get closer together, "I dread the thought of our very first kiss, a target that im probably gonna miss."
