I never told you I loved you, but not for lack of it being true. Chances half are that you wouldn't believe me, and who could blame you? I know that we'll never be together again, and even the chances of our being friends again seem slim. I don't know that I'd want to wish myself on you anyway. I know you'd hate who I've become. I do. I thought I wanted the freedom of being single and being able to do...whatever. I can't believe I threw away what I had with you for one morning with her. I had this idea that when you graduated we'd get married and have 2.5 kids. That's what I really believed. One hundred per cent. Honest to god, I wish I still could. March 6 was the worst day of my life. Do you recall? That was the date I got that letter from you. I was in the middle of a new song, and I just dropped my pen and pick and stared. I couldn't move for a good ten minutes, until Cat came in the room. I fell to a million and ten pieces and it was all my fault. You were that important to me, Jessica. I don't get much sleep at night, because I spend far too much time staring at the pillow next to mine and wishing your head was lying there. I don't know if I'm still in love with you, do you? I cried a couple of days ago for the first time in a long, long while. It wasn't over seeing you, but instead the first time we met. That was one of the best days of my life, hugging you good-bye.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
