A song that evokes such specific thoughts. To me, the song is of the end of the world. I imagine that nuclear war has started and the singer in the verses is saying "is it to much to ask to have a little more time to do the things I wanted to do with my life". But of course, she knows in her heart that it is too late and that everything she has known will be destroyed as the bombs fall. So, she says to her companion, let's go outside and watch it happen..... Wait for the end. When I listen to her sing, I can really put myself in that situation, where it's all coming to a stop and there's nothing to do except be frustrated at what might have been and done, and wait for the inevitable. Read "The Forge of God" by Greg Bear, or watch "Miracle Mile" and you'll capture the sentiment the song conveys exactly. A beautiful and sad song.
