Lyric discussion by catherineks 

the one i know i should be with (he knows i should be with him, too)...well, he lives a long, long way away from me. he's the one who got me turned on to this song.

furthermore, i think this song is about realizing that the perfect love which you've been envisioning for yourself likely doesn't exist. it's a hard dose of reality -- there is always some obstacle (like distance in any sense of the word) to overcome.
