Lyrically one of my favourite songs for it's honesty and clarity. It reminds me of the way in my mind I rehearse what i will say to the those I love, but when we come face to face any articulted expression is overpowered by emotion, leading to me blurting out my stream of conciousness i.e "it should be me!!!"
"Oh, how I love you
In the evenings, when we are sleeping
We are sleeping. Oh, we are sleeping "
If you have ever loved someone so much that you enjoy watching them just 'live' then you may relate to this in the same way as I do. For me this segment describes how tragic it is that the girl being sung to doe's not feel the same way. The singer has to repeat over and over that he loves her even when they are sleeping, whether he means in a literal sense (watching her sleep) or that he dreams of her. This make's it bleaker that she actually loves another, as we know that he truly loves, not lusts, for her perhaps more than she may know. Either way I think anyone who has found tragedy in love will find beauty in this song.
