Shit, clicked the button by mistake X_X

Anyway - guy and girl are a couple, and the second guy is in love with the first, but can't be with him. Then at the end of the video, the three of them are sleeping in a motel bed and the second guy is awake, lying next to the couple. The girl gets up and starts to sneak out, and there's a moment where it seems like she knows the other guy is awake. She leaves, and her boyfriend rolls over in his sleep and puts his arm around the other guy.

Yeah, that was a terrible synopsis, but it's a good video.

Anyway, the thing is - all through the song, it's very hard to tell who's point of view it's coming from. Is it from the guy looking in on the couple, and wanting to be part of it? Or is it from the girl, who leaves the boys behind, together?

I realise that the lyrics, written down, make it clear that it's someone on the outside of the relationship, but... I don't know. There's an ambiguity that seems to come through the song that makes it hard to be sure.

Unless it's just cuz this is being written at 4am.

Anyway, gorgeous, ambiguous song that sums up where my life is at right now.
