Actually, contrary to most of these posts, I found the song to be it's own kind of satire; Corgan speaks of this msytasl place to which we have all be subject to find love overwhelming. however, love isn't about putting someone on a pedistal. it's about the synergy that comes from the two people involved in the relationship. Furthermore, the part of the song that kind of plays a goofy piano (pardon my musicial ignorance to styles), makes the clearest sense of what drives young lovers together in the first place. Almost like a bad joke, he makes mention that "All you have to do..." which, when a heart is broken, is the first thing the heart broken lover chooses to ignore "what you must do from here". Instead, (or at least in my case), the world ends up with another whiny goth, looking beyond the answer for a sign of what must be done to repair the illusion of what was believed to be a strong relationship.... It's not a song about the girl that got away, it's a song about acknowledging the fact that I cannot let go of this girl.
