A good friend of mine has spent her whole life putting school ahead of everything. Now that she is in the top school in her feild, and she doesn't even know if it's what she really wants. She doesn't want to be a career bitch anymore, so this song sort of reminds me of that. She has an awesome family and friends and she never realized it until she was off to college, away from it all.

Just an observation, I see the recurring theme of satellites coming through, and I am guessing it's influenced by Billy Bragg's song A New England... "Is it wrong to wish on space hardware?" which Kris actually did a cover of. The theme also came though in All you can ever learn is what you already know... "all these satellites and shattered dreams" Im interested in knowing if these were all influenced by the same thing.
