When I hear this song, I think about a situation that I'm in right now

There's this girl in my life who I've been spending a lot of time with and I'm absolutely crazy about. I can't get her off of my mind, and I've been falling pretty hard for her.

We finally got to talking the other night and the topic of how we felt and where things were heading came up. I came clean and told her I wish things were more than they are right now. She told me she didn't think she could be the person I'd want her to be. And all I want right now is to tell her to just take a chance and see where it goes, but most of all, I want to tell her that I'm not crazy about because of who I think she CAN be. I'm falling for her because of who she is. It's probably not what this song is really about, but it's how I feel everytime I hear it.

thats pretty deep. I can ser relate. You ever think if things got more serious then the circumstances of you 2 would be altered and things might go downhill. Kinda like throwing a wrench into a good thing.

Theres a girl like that for me who even after 3 years of our falling out she still haunts my brain everyday.

Well, of course I always think about the fact that things might go sour if we tried.

But I'd rather take a chance and be hurt, than be hurt because I didn't take a chance.

And that's now what happened. I took the chance, and she wouldn't. And now we're both left broken by it, and it just drives me crazy that it happened the way it did
