i heard this song in a jewlery store in New Orleans and it struck me so much when i came home i had to find it. It's telling the story of the babysitter from the little girl's point of view. The little girl sees her babysitter in this great relationship with this wonderful guy, but what she doesnt see is that "wonderful" guy was making his girlfriend choose either him or college. the babysitter was crying because she broke up with said boyfriend to pursue what she really wanted...does that make sense? it's a really sweet song. it makes me cry like every time i hear it.
