A Bursting Flame of Fun!

So this is a song about an ex-girlfriend of mine. Whom I loved more than I loved anyone at that point. I was sixteen so I hadn’t loved all that many people. You know how it is, right? It gets inside of you and you say, “Oh my God! Not only is this awesome, but if you’re me — and I suspect if you’re anybody who’s sixteen, — not only is this awesome… none of these other people are experiencing anything remotely like this. My deal is way better than the stuff I see people doing at school. Those people are lame. I’m sure they’re enjoying themselves, but they don’t have what we have. Cause what we have is special.” You get up in that frame of mind and if you’ve got somebody else who is just as driven and narcissistic as yourself… OH BOY, can you dig a deep hole.
