It's simple to get the meaning of this song just by listening to it or by reading the lyrics. It's about two people parting ways and how one loves the other so much that they don't want to leave them. Both the song and the recording by Teddy Thompson are simple, but that is part of its beauty. The song is one of the sweetest, saddest songs I've ever heard, and it's my favorite song of the moment. It comes from the movie "Brokeback Mountain" and fits perfectly with the film in style and content, but it is universal in its theme of longing and lonliness. It's perfect.
