@georgia34279 It's about a man who is visited at a mental institution after he has breakdown. His friends visit him, but he can't remember any of his past life, and they try to get him to remember. I think he had electric shock therapy, but that's just me reading into the first line, which could be coincidental ("...you look so shocked"). Check out Song of Forgetting from Next to Normal for another song on this.
@UngratefulRaccoon thanks! i have always been wondering, but I am no the best at deciphering song lyrics, anyways, much appreciated

Thank you for putting this up though.

The first falsetto bit is quite strange...
The Ben Folds Live version is far better.
