| − | It's a serious bummer of a song. Narrator has romantic feelings for a friend and they're just left stirring in his head, unanswered, because he can't tell what she's thinking; everything's left unsaid, and he'll never know if it's too soon or late to even try. He's left desperate, running around in the rain while the 'part of the brain' that knows the answer about the two of them is empty.

| − | Wishing for "eyes in the back of one's head" refers to knowing what others are saying about oneself when one isn't around, a bit like the "fly on the wall" expression; more delving into the narrator's desperation to just know what the hell she's thinking. "You forgot to take out all the things you forgot to talk about when you took a bite out of my spine"; similar use of the "spine" as in second track on The Spine: lack of self-confidence or emotional fortitude (ie the expression "to have a spine/backbone"). The narrator feels spineless when it comes to her, due to all of the withheld questions he has inside about the two of them that she never addressed. The narrator will never know just what, from the friend's perspective, she'll be finding when she discovers the confession letter he's left for her, because she never tells him what he wants to know anyway.
