I see this song as a story of crucial turning point in two peoples lives. Two people who found a peace through love they thought they would never know, and learned how to keep it.
One cold New Years Eve in Richmond, I realized exactly where I was, where I have been, and where I belonged. She wasn't around but I knew she felt the same. Though we had split and frayed the blessed romance tike and time again, it seemed like it had never really ended.
So, from the rooftops then, to the rooftops now we've seen why we're still here and who we're both about. It's been three and a half years since I fell, watching her play solo through the window in alley of the Hardback. The same place I found myself, later, writing down the words to this song. Now like the color of the light on her dress then, I'm still on fire.
