i like this song a lot. im surprised that theres only one comment for it. its just such a nice mellow sweet song. reminiscing about stuff. i like this song because it emphasizes simplicity. least complicated. no drama or pretention or analysis necessary. no stupid formulas for how to get close to someone like those found in stupid girly mags and all. just be. im just a mirror of a mirror myself. i dont understand all the lyrics though...im not sure what the ring represents. my first instinct is to think wedding ring, but traditionally, the guy gives it. but theres stuff about hiding in this song. sitting in the house, and resisting and staying hidden. away from the street that love has already left. she doesnt feel ready yet...before i think she was one of the people included in the "boy and girl are holding hands in the street." but after she broke up with whoever she's singing to, the street got empty of love, and now shes hiding two stories above. and she doesnt want to go back to the street to reopen her wounds. she cant start clean slated and risk love and all that again as if nothing had happened, so therefore she's conscienciously objecting and dodging the love draft lol. so she has to learn to love again. but she sits there watching above it all, seeing hte kids of the next generation in the street doign what she had done, go through teh whole relationship heartbreak thing just like she had. but shes afraid to dive in again and tries to reason and analyze, but then realizes that love is the least complicated emotion, though its hard to learn again. its sweet.
so thats my take on the song. someone want to expand, agree or contradict me? :) a great song
