Cover art for Rinse lyrics by Vanessa Carlton

Personally, I think this song is about wanting something you know you can't have. She's not in a relationship, but she desperately wants to be. But in the back of her mind, she knows nothing can never happen. Sadly, it's hard to let go. Everytime she holds him and loves him, she knows it's not real... even though she has such strong feelings for him
