Blink 182 is a great band. Tom Delonge and Mark Hoppus are great songwriters, and it is very unfortunate that that is so often misunderstood and overlooked. The song is about a guy with a severe social anxiety disorder and the effects that it has on his social and personal life. A serious song, on a serious subject. People develop severe social anxiety disorders to the point where they are too embarrassed to go out in social situations anymore. It can seriously impact a persons life and of course, prevent them from having any relations with the opposite sex. Something not to be taken lightly, although it is all too often overlooked.

This song is to me blink-182's treasure song. It has everything. This song is about someone who was too nice and let everyone squish him, as it says in "checked my engine, I fell behind" (nice guys finish last). Because of that he has social problems and is always being used ("girls possess me"). He now expresses his feelings in this song because now he found one of those girls who is really special and treats him differently. ("She makes me feel like its raining outside...")

davidm416, that was an amaaing interpertation of the song. if u really listen to the words you can see that, thats what the song is really about, how this boy, has trouble with fitting in with not just boy, but girls. how he likes this girl and how his one chance to make a move in the grocery store, but he doesnt cause he is nervous and afraid. how he wants to be with her but he just cant do it. how he was never good with girls and how at school dances and is too afraid to look dumb and make a fool of himself infront of the girl and everyone around him. he wishes apon a star so that he can being this girl, but the star isnt shining. meaning that it its the star that can help him. its him sho has to help himself but he has low self esteem that he cant do it.
