And he’s still wearing that red and black jersey
Waiting for the band to start up
He’s still showing up twenty late, finding hearts and rules …

The stars and moon
Remind me of you1
I don’t know what to say
It might make you worse2
I don’t understand
What her problem is
I think she’s just a fish!
I know you get it bad
You don’t deserve this3
And I won’t put up
With their ignorance4
And they tell you
They love you
Well they don’t mean it5
I don’t think they know what they mean!6
I don’t think they know what love is
Throw it7 around like it’s worthless
I don’t think they know what love is.
I don’t get this town
Neither do you
We should run away
Just me and you.8
Cause I don’t get the people here
They’re curious9
They don’t really care.10

I wish they would disappear…12
They don’t know what love is
Throw it around like it’s worthless
They don’t know what love is!
I pray for you
And you know I don’t like Jesus!13
Want you to get better…
Please, please get better
For you, for me14
”The stars and moon / Remind me of you” is a lyric that stirs romantic feelings in listeners. Gazing at the night sky is known to evoke romantic feelings.
Soak references the fact that those who are in love are often afraid to share those feelings verbally with their beloved, since it might jeopardize the relationship if they share the wrong words.
The beloved doesn’t deserve to be pursued and harassed by self-seeking individuals.
Soak pledges to love the girl and defend her from those who pursue her without valuing her for who she is.
Some suitors use their words to manipulate girls into loving them. This is particularly offensive to those that actually love said girls.
”I don’t think they know what they mean” implies that Soak actually loves the girl, but others use the word “love” liberally.
That is, the word “love.”
In this stanza, Soak suggests that he and his beloved are made for one another. They are both unaccustomed to their town. They are weirdly compatible, and Soak suggests that their shared oddities are a great foundation for a romance.
That is, they are peculiar.
That is, care about Soak’s beloved.
Soak calls undeserving suitors “sea creatures” and accuses them of interfering with the intimacy of his romance.
”Disappear” is another way of saying “back off.”
The stress applied by suitors on his beloved is very overwhelming, so Soak decides to pray for her despite his dislike of religion.
Soak wants his beloved to recover from the emotional wounds caused by suitors so that his relationship with her can flourish.
