This may be my favourite Alison Krauss song--the second stanza is stunning. The emotion in her voice is incredible as she comes to realise what she's been doing--a 'breakup' song that manages to reach acceptance without bitterness. The lines 'It's not like me to hold somebody down/but I was tossed high by love..' are rather painfully accurate to feeling helpless in love, doing things you normally wouldn't, and she's realising here that she has to stop and let go.
