the whole song is just very tender, i think. very sweet, very sad, but also very beautiful. to be in love and deseprate and sad, but determined to work ith this one person. |

to me, the only good thing in the world to these two people is their relationship. i don't read any bitterness in it all, two people wholly in love but thouroghly depressed by everything else they touch or see. i just remember sitting in the front seat of my car listening to this holding and being held by amy as we both cried. YES, that's a silly, heavy, 'morrissey' kind of moment, but hell i'm that kind of guy. |

the definative line, though, to me is "i hope that if i found the strength to walk out, you'd stay the hell out of my way"...there's no happiness, but i can see how bitterness can be mistaken for happiness. resolve, maybe? i've been through this. it's my favorite john darnielle song. hands down. |
