Can't believe nobody's commented this song yet.

I seriously cannot listen to this song without crying. Obviously it's about a woman giving up on her relationship with a man, or something of the nature, and now he's just blaming himself and trying to figure out what he's supposed to do about it.

But whenever I hear it, I can't help but think of my dad. I live in Oklahoma, and he moved back to California when I was about five. For a long time I thought it was because he didn't love me anymore, and til the time I was about eleven, I'd always run outside and watch the airplanes, thinking maybe he was on one of them, coming back to see me.

The song can be translated plenty of ways, but either way, it's a pretty good song. :]]
