am i totally wrong about this? I thought that this song is about being TOTALLY in love... not breaking up! I think that it's about having wonderful feelings for some person. "Can you still feel the butterflies?" I think that it's talking about being away from the person and being like, "I can't wait to be with you again, I feel so amazing when I'm with you. " When she says "If I don't let myself be happy now, then when?" I don't think they are breaking up, I think that she's opening herself up to him. It's almost as if she was so scared to getting into the relationship that she wouldn't let herself be happy with him because she was scared. But she loves him so much she's decided the only thing she can do is let him know how happy she really is. I don't know, that's the way I see it...

But at the same time, I guess I can see how it could go the other way. "Can you still hear the last good night?" I don't know!

I agree with you, at first I thought that this was a break up song but now I think it's a love song. I mean it seems too pretty and happy to be a breakup song and if it's a breakup song how come it's called "For Me This is Heaven"? Although the break up theory is of course a valid interpretation.

THANK YOU. Everyone's going on about the ending of something. I'm saying that it's actually asking, "Do you still feel this same way? It's been in the back of my mind..."

"If I don't let myself be happy now then when?" If not now when?

I read that as "I need to act, now. This is going to make me happy. Why should I sit back anymore?"

"Can you still hear the last goodnight?"

Can you remember the last time we were together, how we felt, what it felt like to have...
