	The best part of this song is the reference to Marine World. If you've ever lived in the bay area, or know someone that lived there about 20 years ago, you would know that it was the first marine park. It's been abandon for a long time, so I can't help but think that when it says that he went to marine world to try to think of what to say, he went to go think by himself, not on a date. I know that doesn't cover a whole lot of the song, but it's still really brilliant. The Matches have so many inside jokes in their songs that only people from California would understand.

	The Matches/Shawn Harris are amazing songwriters, first of all. It's about a guy who has a crush/is in love with a long time friend, and apperently she leaves/moves ("You left the scene before my crime"). Also, "All I know is that I don't know nothin'" could be a reference to "Knowledge" by Operation Ivy.

	this song pretty well captures what it feels like to have a crush on a girl for a long ass time. And its catchy as hell.

	"All I know is that I don't know nothin' " Modern Socratism.
