I love this song so much!! But the only think i don't get is the part where it goes: Then you said, "wait for me we'll fly the wind, we'll grow old and you'll be stronger without him" why would the person she is talking to, say 'him' cause i thought it was about having a relationship with someone, but her not being ready for it and the world is telling her 'told you so'
