[edit] Lyrics

The song is about the lead singer having a crush on a girl he knows is way out of his league. He really wants that girl, but he knows that he never will be good enough for her. Even though he had given up and desperately wanted to ignore the fact, it was impossible to get rid of it.

[edit] Chart performance

It was their second number one single on the UK Singles Chart. It topped the charts for one week. It was no 14 in Ireland.
