not gay at all. just cool song..
Kinda gay and cool at the same time.
This song (and ironically all the related songs) has so many positive feelings and memories attached; they all come rushing back to me and put a smile on my face whenever I listen to it.

I have a yet-to-be-di s p r o v e d theory that this is the one song that everyone everywhere loves.
One of the options for my wedding dance ^_^
I think this is one of my favorite songs in the world. It never gets old. Even when it was overplayed. I'm not sure what this says about me.
Hey Girl merry xmas xoxoxoxo
I love this song, but I'm kinda biased since my name is Iris ;)
I like the sound of the lead singer, and the driving force of his voice! VERY GOOD SONG.

and can you guys LAY OFF Reverend Rob? he just interprets songs differently. it's not like he's hating the music, or being a troll like you see so often on the internet... I don't agree with his interpretati o n , but he has the right to interpret music his way.
powerful stuff! this is EXACTLY how I feel when I'm with my crush. I'm nerdy, and so's he, but I'm a bit nerdier than he is, so I'm worried he won't understand that part of me so well. but at the same time I really want him to know I like him... what's a girl to do? =/
