Cover art for Awake lyrics by Dashboard Confessional

This song is so gorgeous, and i'm surprised that no one has commented it. To me, a girl that he is good friends with and loves is going away, but will be back in a few years. He didn't tell her his feelings, because he didn't want to ruin the friendship. He is now thinking 'i'm scared that you're the one that got away'.
