"Call and Answer"-Barenaked Ladies

I used to love this song when I was younger, back when I was in the ninth grade. I found this cd today and thought it wouldn't play. It honestly looks like it has been through a war, but it plays pretty good for something that looks the way it does.
Anyway, this song reminds me of this guy I used to like. Still, I love the chorus because it's how I feel about any guy that I've loved. I think it's really sweet, the way that two people who are in love can be together even in the roughest times. I know it's about trying to fix a relationship that isn't working, but there's something so sweet about it, like love is still there.
At the time, the guy I liked was being an asshole to me, but I thought that there was still some hope that he would love me and that he wouldn't mind that I wasn't popular like he was. I seriously thought that we were going to be together forever, and I would have done anything for him. I thought he really liked me, but I was wrong about the whole thing. Still, whenever I hear this song, I think about how I felt about him. I don't think I'll ever forget that feeling.
I swore he was going to ask me out, I was on top of the world. I thought that he was the most beautiful guy in the world and that it didn't matter that he was popular and I wasn't. I thought I was gross, but I thought he would see past that, that he wouldn't care about elementary and middle school, and all the shit that he had heard about me. I really thought he would see past that. I can never describe how happy he was. Everything felt okay back then, now everything feels wrong, it's just nice to remember that at one time my life felt okay and I thought I knew just what was going to happen, now I don't and it bugs me. Listening to this song makes me feel better, like I'll be okay.
"Call and Answer"-Barenaked Ladies
I think it's getting to the point
where I can be myself again
It's getting to the point
where we have almost made amends
I think it's the getting to the point
that is the hardest part.
And if you call, I will answer
And if you fall, I'll pick you up
And if you court this disaster
I'll point you home
I'll point you home
You think I only think about you
when we're both in the same room
I'm only here to witness
the remains of love exhumed
You think we're here to play
a game of who loves more than whom
And if you call, I will answer
And if you fall, I'll pick you up
And if you court this disaster
You think it's only fair to do what's
best for you and you alone
It's only fair to do the same
to me when you're not home
I think it's time to make this something that is
more than only fair
So if you call, I will answer
And if you fall, I'll pick you up
And if you court this disaster
I'll point you home.
But I'm warning you, don't ever do
those crazy messed up things that you do
If you ever do
I promise you I'll be the first to crucify you
Now it's time to prove that you've come back
here to rebuild.
Rebuild
Rebuild
Rebuild
