To me, this song is the ultimate song about unrequited love. The person singing is, after all this time, still yearning for that loved one, even though he or she does not feel the same way or no longer does.
"the weight it must be light wherever you are." Unlike you, that person feels no burden, has no heavy heart over all of this, while you suffer the burden of still loving he/she regardless. At this time, things have either gone so bad or you have waited so long that all that you say now is nothing to that person. In the end, you are left to hum this sad tune by yourself, in utter resignation. In the end, you accept that you two are simply on different paths, under different stars.
Despite the fact that listening to this song is like sticking a hot poker into an open wound for me, I cant help but listen to it repeatedly. Besides the awesome lyrics, the mellow yet solemn tone of the singer's voice is just absolutely captivating. Definitely one of the best if the THE best song by them.
