reminds me of a friend of mine who has the prettiest eyes and this sort of describes our relationships

great song, and i like it even more now that i know what 'spitting games' means :). i love the part where he goes "im far too shy to speak to you at school. you leave me numb and im not sure why"...he totally hits the point that there's always that shy person in high school

I took the floodgate part something like he finally got the courage to talk to her and everything went very well and after their conversations he was just so happy that he 'fell in love' with everyone.

Um...why is it called 'Spitting Games'? Does anyone know? It reminds me of this girl that I have a crush on. 'It's in everything I ever write' Just not being able to get this certain person off your mind. I think the floodgates line goes along with "and I fell in love with everyone I saw", meaning that after he falls in love with this person, he is seeing so much beauty in everything he sees. Not exactly falling out of love with this person and in love with other people.

You people are very obviously missing the point with the whole "t-hut" thing. This part is put in so it rhymes better with up.

Lightbody said "birds" stand for "girls"
