	I love this song, I'm learning bass and this is such a fun song to play along to. As for the meaning, my interpretation is pretty much the same as everyone else's here, I think it's about being in love with someone but too shy to approach them (I know that feeling). There are some parts of the song that are kind of interesting that would be cool to hear what other people thought: 1) Does he seem to go through some metamorphasis in feelings at "But after that the floodgates opened up And i fell in love with everyone i saw "? and 2) What is up with the T-hut thing? Is it wrong? When I read it I actually thought of the Tiki Room (which actually is a hut) at Disneyland, a room containing dozens of animatronic birds that surround the audience and sing. Kind of a stretch, I'll admit, but that's just my first impression when reading the lyrics.

	well here's a song for the shy guy - just about every guy in high school except for a-hole jocks. i love the song, it's oddly addictive.

	i could be wrong. but all the lyrics say "my head's up with the birds on the t-hut" whichhhhh sounds a little weird to me. i think it's "my head's up with the birds when i see her"

	I think the song is basically a tribute to teen hormones. While I think Twincam's point about stalking and obsession has merit, I think that this feeling is pretty normal for a teenage boy. All teenage boys get obsessive thoughts about certain girls in school, and remember what the health teacher (hopefully) told us (if you' outside of one of those "abstinence" or fundamentalist districts): this is normal. Anyways, I think bands write teenage lust songs usually to gain fans from that lucrative market. Gain loyalty from the teenage market and they will continue to buy records for years to come. Gain fans from 30-somethings and they might be lucky to buy one of your records, never mind multiple ones. At least that's the logic behind all the vying for young fans that bands do. Even the Beatles did it. I think a lot of that logic has however changed with the advent of file-sharing and with artists that hit huge such as Nora Jones and Hootie and the Blowfish that are quite popular with fans that aren't so young. Anyway that's my take on the "youth-oriented lyrics."

	Pretty straightforward meaning. The shy guy in school who is too afraid to ask the girl he likes out... Practically my life word for word... Awesome song.
