This song always reminds me of John Knowles' "A Separate Peace." In this book, the protagonist narrator is a lonely prep school student befriended by an incredibly charismatic and athletic guy. The narrator develops a jealousy for the friend's endless capabilities and effortless charm, and, in a fit of misguided "justice," causes his friend to fall out of a tree. For the rest of the book, the narrator suffers deep-rooted guilt and self-loathing. This song matches the book's tone perfectly.
