This song is probably the best to come off "My Private Nation" It's a beautiful account of what it's like to lose a long-term relationship. The lines "maybe we were too young" strike pretty hard with a lot of people who've heard it themselves. In the chorus he's telling the girl that maybe he's not very meaningful in her life, but she's pretty much all he's got to believe in. He knows that everything has been hard and that she should've left him a long time ago, but he pleads that he's on the edge of becoming who she wants. He's basically saying, wait give me another chance I'll be something really great here in a minute. The second verse is really sweet and very well written I think. This song sounds like it came from somewhere very personal I think, it's almost like looking in on a personal conversation. He goes through how they got together despite everyone thinking they wouldn't and he says don't let it fall apart after all that we've actually made it through. You're just going to prove them right. Then in the final verse which is also amazingly well written tells of photographs of themselves and he thinks about how much they've seen. Like a road-wearied type of thing. The last line is my favorite I think that Train has ever written. It's great in its simplicity. He realizes that no matter how good things are in his life that they could always be better with her. It's just not winning if it's not winning with her. Anyway, that's my interpretation of a really fantastic song by Train.
