Green Day - Extraordinary Girl Meaning

Extraordinary Girl Lyrics

She's an Extraordinary girl
In an ordinary world
And she cant seem to get away

He lacks the courage in his mind
Like a child left behind
Like a pet left in the rain

She's all alone again
Wiping the tears from her eyes
Some days he...

   She's an extraordinary girl in an ordinary world because she is probably more sensitive than most people, so she feels insecure. She easily gets disappointed in others,they don't understand her, that's why she is often all alone and feeling frustrated.
   
   If we look into the plot about Whatsername and St Jimmy, we'll find out that she is a real rebel by nature. On the contrary, Jimmy only pretends to be one. Whatsername sees they are too different and that Jimmy isn't what he seems to be. That's what makes her miserable.

   Sounds like Billy says "Some days he feels like dying" on the CD's, but on Green Day: Rock Band, it sounds like "Some days she feels dying". Either way, it sounds to me like J.O.S. is describing Whatshername as girl who doesn't take shit from most, but is from a guy who is a dick. This tears him apart seeing the girl he loves hurt like this, and she's not doing anything to stop it.

   Fair enough that's your own opinion but most people do read lyrics and the lyrics are HE feels like dying

   It could be one of 2 things: some days he feels like dying or some days she feels like dying. I clearly hear some days she feels like dying, my ears could be wrong but I feel that it isn't neccesary to read lyrics.

   Maybe you should read the lyrics.
   
   It's not SHE feels like dying, it's HE feels like dying.

   This song's about a guy that went out with a girl and now she's going out with another guy that doesn't treat her right. But her ex-boyfriend still loves her. He is trying to tell her current boyfriend how extraordinary she is and what she's like. "Some days she feels like dying, she gets so sick of crying." Her current boyfriend makes her cry to the point of death wishes.
