This is a special song - really clever lyrics and it's exactly how I feel about a certain time in my life too. It's about times you could have had but didn't, quite sad. I love the line "don't rewrite my history cos you'll never really know how much you didn't mean to me" - genius, I know exactly what he means. In his book Feel, Robbie says he thought bits of this song were about how he felt about his parents divorcing. It also says that the song was based on a poem he had to learn at school and I think it must be the same poem I knew when I was younger. It goes like this:
One fine day in the middle of the night
Two dead men got up to fight
Back to back, they faced each other
Drew their swords and shot each other
