The song is Aqualung "Strange and Beautiful"

I've been watching your world from afar,
I've been trying to be where you are,
And I've been secretly falling apart,

Seth had always watched Summer.  To him, she could do no wrong.  She was everything to him, even if she didn't know it.  She was everything he ever wanted, and everything he would ever want.  As much as he tried, he couldn't forget her. 

Not that he really wanted to forget her, mind you.

 
To me, you're strange and you're beautiful,
You'd be so perfect with me but you just can't see,
You turn every head but you don't see me.

He didn't quite understand why she didn't get him.  He wasn't that hard to figure out.  He loved comic books, he loved vintage t-shirts, and he loved her.  He loved the way she glared at him.  He loved the way she pranced around in her tiny tank tops.  He loved how she knew that she was wanted.  But most of all, he loved the fact that she knew who he was.

As much as he wanted to be her boyfriend, and he wanted her to love him back, he knew that it would take a long time to break her down.  All he could do now, was love the fact that she knew him.   For years he had just been someone in the distance.  Someone she didn't see.  But now, she saw.  She knew who he was.  She knew his name, where he lived, and she knew he loved her.

I'll put a spell on you,
You'll fall asleep and I'll put a spell on you.
And when I wake you,
I'll be the first thing you see,
And you'll realize that you love me.

Somehow, Seth knew that she loved him back.  Even if she wouldn't admit it to anyone else, or even to herself, he could see it.  He could see it in her eyes.  Whenever she looked at him, he could see past the coldness in her eyes.  He could see the pain of her parent's divorce.  He could see the walls she had built up over the years.  He could see past all of the yearning, and the pain, and the stupid mistakes, and the fake friends.  He could see the real Summer.  But she didn't know that he saw all of this.  Summer didn't know that Seth could see that deeply into her.  If she had know, she might not have let him in as much as she had.

Sometimes, the last thing you want comes in first,
Sometimes, the first thing you want never comes,
And I know, the waiting is all you can do,
Sometimes...

Seth was the last thing on Summer's mind.  She tried not to think about him.  But whenever she say someone playing a video game, or a comic book in a store, her mind always wondered to him.  She knew she couldn't avoid him forever, but she could try.  If she never admitted to herself that she had feelings, strong feelings, for him, she might not have to act on them. 

But that all dissolved on the boat.  As soon as she pulled him away to kiss him, she knew she was over her head.  She had kissed him, wanting to prove to herself that he meant nothing.  But, the kiss sparked all the feelings she had tried to subside back.

I'll put a spell on you,
You'll fall asleep,
I'll put a spell on you,
And when I wake you,
I'll be the first thing you see,
And you'll realize that you love me.

Summer knew it wouldn't be too much longer before Seth would begin to need answers.  But she didn't want to answer them.  If she did, she would have to tell the truth.  She'd have to tell him that she loved him back.  She loved him, just as he always wanted her to.
