My favorite track on the album. The message is easy enough: let go of the person who wants to be happy without you, but never let go of the happy memories. What's exceptional is the way it achieves this message, its pairing of lyrics and music.
The lyrics are simple and bitter/sweet. They are sung with a tiredness and loneliness that is very appropriate. The music is simple too, but almost cute and child-like. Absolute sweetness and absolute caring with undertones of sadness, truth.
I agree with the above comment, I'd like to have it go on longer and become a real valley in the album. Not more lyrics, just repeating chords over and over and over. Maybe a little cello... (I love the cello). To linger on this gem would give it more weight, which it is certainly deserving of.
It seems that within this song lies the realization of true love: wishes of happiness without selfishness. A realization that was perhaps made a little too late...
...a realization that doesn't feel as good as you thought it would.
