I always thought this song was about a search for Jesus. Sometimes we may feel like we're alone in this sad kind of world, and we're just crying out for God's love. Then we gradually see God's love everywhere. However, I personally think of this song when I think about past relationships. I sort of had to stop listening to it because I related it with separation and loneliness. I love the line about coming alive on the "leaf-bright Friday night." It reminds me of the going out with friends or romantic interests on the weekends. A little bit of high school in there, I guess.
