Hey Rob, Since you said the lyrics were going over your head, I put them below. It's about a guy who thought this girl was a girlfriend, but was just playing him and everyone knew that. It's basically just telling her "I found out about you". lyrics below. "All last summer in case you don't recall I was yours and you were mine forget it all Is there a line that I could write That's sad enough to make you cry? And all the lines you wrote to me were lies Months roll past, the love that you struck dead Did you love me only in my head? There were things you said and did to me They seem to come so easily The love I thought I'd won you give for free Whispers at the bus stop Well I've heard about nights out in the school yard I found out about you I found out about you Rumors follow everywhere you go Like when you left and I was last to know Well you're famous now and there's no doubt In all the places you hang out They know your name and they know what you're about Whispers at the bus stop Well I've heard about nights out in the school yard I found out about you I found out about you Street lights blink on through the car window I get the time too often on AM radio Well you know it's all I think about I write your name, drive past your house Your boyfriend's over, I watch your lights go out Whispers at the bus stop Well I've heard about nights out in the school yard I found out about you I found out about you Whispers at the bus stop Well I've heard about nights out in the school yard I found out about you I found out about you I found about you"

I think the actual meaning is hidden. The young girl in the song is having her life destroyed by a vicious rumor being spread by immature school kids, and the protagonist, also an immature kid, is falling for it. It's a tale as old as time.

I was right on the edge of the stage and Jim Babjak was tossing the occasional guitar pick to eager hands but I kept missing. Finally he stepped forward and slapped one right into my palm. It was a moment😂 I got to have a short meet and greet with the band because of the tickets and they were really nice and personable. A few years later I was at a big house party and a guy wearing sweats was sitting on the couch playing guitar and singing. I was a bit smacked because I kept thinking I knew him but couldn't place him. Finally dawned on me it was Pat Dinizio! 🥳

Analysis This song lyrics depict a narrative of unrequited love, betrayal, and longing. The speaker reflects on a past relationship where they were deeply invested, but ultimately deceived by their partner. The recurring motif of "whispers at the bus stop" and "nights out in the school yard" suggests a small town setting where rumors spread easily, intensifying the sense of isolation and disillusionment. The lyrics convey a mixture of sadness, bitterness, and obsession as the speaker grapples with the painful realization of their partner's deceit and their own lingering feelings.

Hopkins died by suicide on December 5, 1993, after a reported five previous attempts (including one for which he was hospitalized two weeks prior to his death). The following year, This song by Hopkins, "Found Out About You", also reached No.25 on the top 100.So yeah.. if you listen to more songs or re listen to this one.. it will make it more haunting and sad!
