Song of the day: "Falling for the First Time" by Barenaked Ladies

A while ago, I heard the song "Falling for the first time" by the Barenaked Ladies (an alternative group). I thought it was a song about falling in love for the first time. But then I looked at the CD liner notes from "Disc One." Steven Page, one of the Barenaked Ladies, says that the song is really about "a perfectionist who discovers the joy in failing -- how he's got to learn to fall before he learns to fly, and how that fall makes him feel a freedom he's never felt before."

I'm so cool, too bad I'm a loser,
I'm so smart, too bad I can't get anything figured out,
I'm so brave, too bad I'm a baby,
I'm so fly, that's probably why it,
Feels just like I'm falling for the first time.

I'm so green, it's really amazing,
I'm so clean, too bad I can't get all the dirt off of me,
I'm so sane, it's driving me crazy,
It's so strange, I can't believe it,
Feels just like I'm falling for the first time.

Anyone perfect must be lying, anything easy has its cost,
Anyone plain can be lovely, anyone loved can be lost,
What if I lost my direction? What if I lost sense of time?
What if I nursed this infection? Maybe the worst is behind.
It feels just like I'm falling for the first time.
It feels just like I'm falling for the first time.

I'm so chill, no wonder it's freezing,
I'm so still, I just can't keep my fingers out of anything,
I'm so thrilled to finally be failing,
I'm so done, turn me over cause it,
Feels just like I'm falling for the first time.

Anything plain can be lovely, anything loved can be lost,
Maybe I lost my direction, what if our love is the cost?
Anyone perfect must be lying, anything easy has its cost,
Anyone plain can be lovely, anyone loved can be lost,
What if I lost my direction? What if I lost sense of time?
What if I nursed this infection? Maybe the worst is behind.
