I feel this song is about coming to terms with being "different" and exploring your individuality on all levels, without allowing the opinions of others effect your opinion of yourself.
"I believe there is a
distance I have wandered
to touch upon the years of
reaching out and reaching in
holding out holding in"
It's as if she's been waiting a long time to make the transition between who others wanted her to be, and who she knew she was. and although i really have no idea of sarah's sexuality, other than having read somewhere that she was married to her drummer, I can't shake the suspicion that this one could be in reference to a same sex relationship, seeing how there has to be a connection between the message of the song , and the second verse, which is apparently about some sort of physical aspect of love. Either way, this is an excellent song about breaking free, I love it. :-)
