Well, I am the first (and I suspect will be the only) commenter, but am glad to be so in any case. This song means a lot to me; I read it about a person in lusting after another person, an obsessive crush if you will, waiting to see if their desires will be met by the other person, tense, expectant, maybe frightened of what's going to happen next.

It captures for me that feeling of 'one step towards you, two steps back, feels like I'm crawling' - getting nowhere, getting more tense and desperate to just have the desire fulfilled.

But then, I am strange and my interpretations do not often match other people's.

Thank you and goodbye.

Just love this song. I first heard this in Soldier´s Girl (great film btw, Lee Pace was fantastic! <3) which I watched the other day, and I've got to say that this song matches perfectly with the subject of the movie.

Wish more people listen to this, because it truly is beautiful.. :)
