When I listened to this song for the first time, I was complety... I don't know, I just couldn't get enough of it, so I had to listened to it over and over again. And then, suddenly, this feeling was gone and for one moment, I was disappointed, because I thought, that I couldn't enjoy this song anymore the way I did before. But I was wrong, now it's not driving me mad anymore, it's better, it just feels great to hear it.

The first lines are probably the most beautiful lines ever written: "You're the colour, you're the movement and the spin..." So beautiful, maybe the best way do describe someone you love. Imagine a world without colour, movement or spin. That's everything he sees when she's gone, he just feels paralysed. He needs her to feel great, so he doesn't want her to leave, but he knows, that he doesn't have a chance ("fail with consequence, lose with eloquence"), because this is real life and not a stupid hollywood film with a happy end ("I'm not in this movie, I'm not in this song"), so I think, he's thankful for the moments he can share with her ("and smile"), maybe when he meets her at work, school or whatever. For me, this song is not only about love, it IS love...

(but I could use some colour again...)

@WayToBlue Lucid comment for a splendid piece of art. For me too this song is an emotional experience that in another period of my life I bonded with an old love that meaned so much for me. When I was able to cut the bond and simply enjoyed the music it was pretty better for me. Regards from Madrid!!
