This song is so meaningful to me. I always have loved this song...but it wasn't until last year when I could really understand and appreciate the lyrics.

"All the tears fall down inside"..."the salt inside my body ruins everyone I come close to"...All those tears that build up inside make you see everyone with a tainted perspective, it ruins everything good in people. You almost feel as though, because you are around them, they are ruined.

"I miss you all, I wish I were with you now, I wish I was"...WishYouWereHere wrote that Jann wrote this about her brother who was in jail, so the actual lyrics were apparently meant to be literal (he was physically separated from everyone) but when this song was so relevant for me, I felt like I was present in body, but my heart was not there...my soul was absent from everything it was passionate about.

AHH so powerful! Thank the Lord I have been set free from that time in my life!
