The curtains split open with the force of your hands/
Stripes of sunlight blind me/
But then I see you and my eyes take in all the light they can/
Apologies drip out of your mouth and into mine/
You actually want me/
A declaration more than a question/
Utters shyly from between your teeth/
"Go on a date with me"/
You're so cool under pressure /
Yet I crumble and fail to make anything of myself/
I say OK nonetheless/
Interpretation: Michael comes back to Luke and dismisses all of his doubts. Line 4 is saying how Michael apologizes and Luke apologizes. The third stanza describes how Michael asks Luke out. Luke is jealous of Michael's confidence. In lines 9 and 10 Luke is referring to how when coal is put under a lot of pressure, a diamond is formed, but if Luke was a piece of coal he would simply crumble and be forgotten.
