I recently rediscovered this song after a couple years, and it has taken on a whole new meaning for me now. Jack Johnson's songs have always been special to my husband and I, and now this one seems to be describing the divorce that we're currently going through.
"All the words that we said and the words that we mean
Words can fall short, can't see the unseen..."
Like all the promises we made to each other that seem to be falling short.
"We don't really need to find a reason
Cause out the same door that it came, well it's leaving
It's leaving. Leaving like a day that's done..."
I am inclined to agree with the others who think that this song describes the inevitable end of a deep relationship. Like us, it sounds like the couple in the song love each other very much but feel that at this point there's no other way.
