    this is an accurate representation of a) how gay I am and b) how often I push up my glasses

    I push up my glasses
    As you go about frothing the cream
    And I'm sweating from all of the steam
    As it simmers me into a dream
    I push up my glasses
    So I might catch the gleam of your eyes
    I know you like those nerdy, hipster guys
    Can't you see through their plastic disguise?
    Oh, why
    Every shift I work, I might just go berserk
    As you toy, pushing past for the soy
    Hoping one day, you would finally say that you want me
    Over some stupid boy
    I push up my glasses
    As you twirl the milk in a heart swirl
    I remember that I'm still a girl
    And I wish that my heart would unwirl
    'Cause I know I'll never be your type
    So I try to tune out
    As I go to clock out
    I push up my glasses.

    I'm back here three years later and this song is just as wonderful as the first time I heard it. She was wonderful in Heathers and the new Mean Girls album had just dropped (it's also epic). I'm glad that she's getting the recognition she deserves, but a small part of me misses the relaxed days when she was free to do little things like this

    Listening back to this after not hearing it for almost a year brings tears to my eyes.
    I first heard this song on my first year away from home. I was lying down in my dorm room, rain pouring outside the window, not enough to be a storm but enough to create a soft pattering noise outside. I was looking up at the ceiling, debating whether or not I was in love with this boy. I didn't know where it was heading then.
    You both liked each other.
    It's been a year.
    You left.
    You're playing this song again, alone in your dorm room, still wondering where your life is heading.

    I'm sitting in a free period right now close to tears because of this song my life's mission now is to sing this song as perfectly as her (which probably won't happen).Does anyone else think she might be bisexual? I know just because she singing about a girl doesn't automatically determine her sexuality (and we all know she's an amazing actress so she could pull of that character) but she just seems to identify with this song so strongly while singing it. What do you guys think?

    • @jennypower5373
      @jennypower5373 8 лет назад +18

      Is it about a girl? I always thought she was singing about a gay guy. Could be either really I suppose 😃

    • @rebeccah2662
      @rebeccah2662 8 лет назад +40

      +Jenny Power I think the "I remember that I'm still a girl" proves that she's singing about a girl, if she was singing about a guy why would she forget she's a girl? Gender norms suggest guy + girl, guy is dominant, protective and loves girls but because she's feeling these things, she remembers that she cannot fill these categories in the way that would attract this other girl. There are many other points in the song that suggest she's singing about a girl, but this was the only one I could explain properly (and I still think my explanation is a little messy but tell me if it makes sense to you)

  • @jackl.gansner6102

    I interpret this song to be about a homosexual/bisexual girl who struggles with the fact that she has a massive crush or even loves this heterosexual girl, but is not able to make the move because she knows the other girl doesn't feel the same way. This is literal so Beautiful and plus Barrett Wilbert Weed sings it, so that makes it even more beautiful, and plus she is Beautiful , and she sang a song called Beautiful!!! Everything is just B-E-A-utiful!!!

    Als mijn hoofd me weer tilt naar een droom
    Ik staar in jou richting
    Hoop dat jou blik de mijne aan tast
    Ik weet dat je valt voor die knappe gast
    Zie dan in dat hij niet bij jou past
    Altijd deze plek
    Maak jij me knetter gek
    Als jij plaagt
    En mijn hart zo opjaagt
    Ik hoop dat je ook echt
    Daar dan tegen me zegt
    Je mij ook wilt
    Is dat te veel gevraagd

      From what I understand, the character who sings this is working in a coffee place, like Starbucks, together with the girl she's crushing on. That's why she looks at her while she prepares the coffee, etc (I could be wrong tho ??? But I think that is it)
