The song is about how people change to fit in. the narrator compares the author to a legal pad and pen or pencil. The verse “Would you draw me with your pencils and your pens, make me much prettier than I really am?” The narrator is asking if the author accepts her for who she is. The narrator wants to know why they have to change. Why would they waste their time trying to be something or someone they are not. The narrator also asks if their friends are good enough. She believes people judge her based on her friends. The line, “And could you draw us with some picture perfect friends if I chipped in for the ink?”
