Here's what Carl (Lead Singer) said about the song:

Was the song shimmer about any one girl in particular??? Fuel_Carl: "Yes, it actually was. A girl I dated in college and I thought -- at one time we got close to getting married and then she married someone else. Then she called me two years later. It was weird. Two lives that are so interconnected -- then your worlds collide again...it's pretty intense."

Really?! dats wut happened to me. n diz song brings me memories from a relationship . i was 15 though n he was 20. i was young n didn know what i had.we broke up n he promised to be there for me no matter wat n he stopd callin me den two months later he was engaged. a couple of more later married n i just cried myself to sleep every night. its been almost 2 years n i just dont know wat went wrong. i say it was da age difference but i never got a call bak...

@missinusince07:

you - 15 him - 20 = pedophile

And p-l-e-a-s-e write the words the way they are spelled, not the way you say them. Jeez.

@janettetsmith

Big assumption there, you may be interested to know that with other people a relationship doesn't have to involve a horizontal folk dance. More sympathy and less pedantry would be nice too :)

I don't know exactly why, but this is one of few songs that can make tears well in my eyes. Much to the amusement of my 10yo song. And don't blame yourself at all, as painful as it may seem you were on different trajectories. Be true to yourself and your path
