Weezer - Perfect Situation Lyrics Meaning

Arrrghh....again...people thinking a video has to be a direct interpretation of a song.

By that logic "Keep Fishin" is a song about muppets, and "Buddy Holly" is a song about Happy Days. and "Island in the Sun is about animals or mexican weddings, depending upon wich video you watch.

Weezer videos typically never have anything to do with the song lyrics...so it's dunny that almost every post above is trying to fit the video to the song.

One guy above had it right. The song is about wanting to approch someone romantically, but losing the nerve and thus the chance to ever meet that person... Then beating yourself up about it.
