Why can't I learn?

I found a Denver mint penny, a lucky Denver mint. (don't say you didn't see it coming) When I was younger I interpreted that the song was about somebody being better than you, and you just have to accept it. I'm not really sure what the song is about? Does anybody know? I mean like a story from the band or something. Not what those people posted on songmeanings. I was gonna screencap the video, but I decided not to.

I have a soft spot for late 90s emo music.
The funny thing about Dan's novel on Gossip Girl is how it upset his family so much. I hope I don't have that problem. Maybe I should focus on school stories. Like stories about absurd sandwiches or really horrible school assemblies.
