To be honest, I'm not a fan of Sheryl's at all. I haven't heard this song either. I read the lyrics in a friends MSN name and was immediately drawn to it.
The chorus made me think of drugs, possibly becuase i'm in the middle of an addiction myself. It's biased, but it fits.
"I've been a long long way from here" meaning that she used to be clean, and happy, and she goes on to tell about the fun times of her life.
"If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad" Anybody who has suffered through addiction immediately relates to this. It brings you so high, and takes you so low, and you do think that how can something so great be so bad?
"You get down, real low down" Self explanatory. I think what she says about the french toast again is wishful thinking about the possible good times ahead if the addiction was overcome.
Then she says straight up she still get's stoned, and coudln't be brought home. Who's parents would be impressed with a drug addict?
Then she goes back to the good memories and states "Well, o.k. we get along
So what if right now everything's wrong?".
I don't know, to me it just screams addiction. I could be completely wrong though. I'm looking forward to hearing the song.
