This song is so amazing. This is one of the few songs that I could listen to over and over and over and never get tired of it. Although i think this song has an underlying sad meaning of not being able to go back to the past, this song for some reason just gives me the happiest feeling. It's one of the best songs to put on in if your in the car with a bunch of friends and you can just blast it and everyone can sing to it.

It's interesting how the same song affects people differently. I go more with the underlying sad as it makes me very emotional, but I can definitely listen to it over and over, as I'm doing now.

I agree that that I see the underlying sadness of the song, and it's not one of those songs that makes me happy. I find it to be about someone who broke his heart and how he was so happy in the past but he can never go back to that. "All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade away", meaning everything that's good fades away and never comes back. It's all fleeting. He tries to hang on that time, but it slips his grasp, and that's what the line "too far away for me to hold" means....
