I think the point is that it’s a bad situation all around for him and well, might as well get right to the point. And him walking up to this girl in what I percieve to be a crowded room and she’s got a hostile expression on her face AND she’s with another guy and saying “Are you gonna be my girl” to her takes a lot of well...let’s just say courage. And the wimpy pathetic way it comes out is because he knows he probably doesn’t have a prayer. But you gotta admire his...courage.
The ultimate in pathetic “I want you” songs right now is James Blunt’s “Beautiful”. I can’t even listen to it. Blech.
A sample of the lyrics (very repetitive, obviously, and sung in a whiny, whiny voice):
You’re beautiful. You’re beautiful.
You’re beautiful, it’s true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it’s time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.
Blech, blech, blech. Luckily “my” station doesn’t consider him rock, so they mostly only play parodies of his songs. They like making fun of him...
