Seeing Other People

When I first heard this song my initial impression was, and still is, 
that it was about a perhaps early teen boy dealing with feelings of 
confused sexuality.
I picture two boys, attracted to each other, and the same sex in 
general, but who are struggling to come to terms with this - hence 
they tell each other they are 'kissing just for practice' and that if 
'I remain passive and you just want to cuddle...we wont get in a 
muddle...'
Yeah, basically I think it's about what happens when this particular 
boy realises he is gay - how he deals with it and what sort of 
thoughts go through his mind at this time.

I think the line 'you're gonna have to change and you're gonna have 
to go with girls, you'd be better off at least they know where to put 
it' is pretty much the definitive proof that the song has at least 
something to do with homosexuality - however whether my particular 
reading is accurate or not, I dont know, but it works for me and 
that's what I got out of it.
