this song always reminds me of a girl who grew up next door to me. she moved away last year after 17 some years. we lived on a lake and every time we were alone on the beach, something would interrupt us (usually her dad or one of her friends) and she'd go inside, leaving me alone for the rest of the night. i never really got the chance to tell her how much she meant to me. this song illustrates that entire scene so vividly that the first time i heard it, i was choking back tears. love it.
