Think it's because we're so awesome?

there's this book that, when you're danish and in like, around 9th grade is, apparently a mandatory read, called, "my best friend thomas" and it's well. kind of like this. thomas the Golden boy and the narrator is envious of him all through the book, in the end, thomas dies of aids, and the narrator sits by his side in the hospital and tells him ( thomas ) how envious he's always been, and how thomas had everything he wanted, and thomas says, "no, because I could never have you." and well. I ramble, but that book made such an impression, then, and these lyrics reminded me...
