I first heard this song when I was maybe 16. I listened to it, and thought "what a song for travelers. It must be so sad to be in this situation..." and reflected on how much romance and intrigue must be in someone's life, and resources! in order to have that be applicable.
And then, I grew up (I'm twenty two) and traveled across the ocean a couple times, and found myself in that situation.
In Russia, this song was almost about my partner, who was still in the United States, but there were no illusions to be chasing. But now, as I am in the U.S., looking back at Russia, unsure if I want to return, if I will be able to return... there is someone there, who became close with me, that I became rather attached to, and this song eerily applies exactly to the situation that was. Someone I miss, but wanted more than was possible, and now, will I ever see them again? They are only an ocean away....
