I see your point Joe_Dull; lines such as "sometimes you've got to sacrifice the things you like" seem like cliche fillers that fit perfectly to the melody but lyrically seem out of place (the album's filled with them). But aside from that, and aside from the unashamed pop-ness of the track, I LOVE this song. My favourite track off one of my favourite albums.
I think it really describes where Delta was at... and where other people are at at a given point in their lives. "Doing everything that I believe in"... "More understanding of what's around me"... "Life's full of mistakes, destinies and fates". It's such a 'growing up' anthem.
I'd love to hear a piano acoustic of this song, and I'm sure one exists somewhere, but I think it'd be really powerful.
