This is an amazing song and I agree it is one of their best. Ive seen them play 7 times and only once have I seen them play it live.....such a shame.

Dont think its pathetic you feel like that, I too play it when I'm at my worst I just seems like the lyrics just fit right for me, you know?

I feel the the song for me is all about "Nock Backs" and how we depsepetly keep moving forward, even though we sometimes feel theres no point.

It ends with him drifting back to his childhood when things were much more simpler and when we didnt have a care in the world. And then back into the corous (reality)

Great great song
