Lyric discussion by msjulz 

I know this is probably what the song isn't about, but interestingly, 39 is pronounced "san kyuu" in japanese, which is a way of saying "Thank You." I wonder if Robert was also telling someone thank you while telling them it was over.

i'm 39 now and i can understand where he's coming from. it reminds me of the song "end" from wish. robert always thinks that he's given all he has to give to us, there is nothing left. he can't see going on like this and doesn't see any future writting more songs......then comes under the stars.
