First off, I think the beginning of this song is just plain hilarious. I don’t remember hearing it the first time I listened to it. In fact, it was probably the forth or fifth time before I really listened to the words.
Anyway, I think the meaning of this song is pretty straightforward. He’s still in love with this girl, presumably an ex-girlfriend, and the feeling isn’t going away. If anything it’s getting stronger – like an absence makes the heart grow fonder kind of thing. I like that he’s begging the moon and the stars. It reminds me of Starry Night and the optimism ad hope I find in that painting. Though despite the hope present in this song (because the guy obviously hopes she’ll come back), I find it extremely sad. I mean what sucks more than losing the one you love? Especially someone you feel so connected to. Them’s the breaks…
