Lyric discussion by imalittlepea 

i absolutely love regina spektor. she is my best friend and she doesnt even know. im sure all heartfelt regina fans feel like they need to announce their undying love for her. when i first heard this song, along with many others, it was kind of like a punch to the stomach because i can relate to it so so well. im so thankful for everything she writes because it helps to know that someone understands. i love every single song shes written, and i get so excited everytime i find a song ive never heard before because each one is like a secret that you can enjoy as you please, but at the same time you cant waste. she is so raw and talented and i cant find anything wrong with her.

for me, the song is about an on and off relationship. and shes saying how painful it is to care about this person so much since their affection "goes in circles". she knows what a good relationship this can be, but the hard part is that it isnt always that way. "somedays i almost can recall what it was like before we ever met. sometimes not even that." shows how occupied she is by caring about this relationship. its just a hard and unfair thing to do. :(
