I will start off with a) when I saw this live I thought it was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

I definatly think this song is about some sort of forbidden love, whether it be one of them is involved with someone or they're just not supposed to be together. I'd go with the former, just because of "I become what I always hated, when I was with you". Also, I always thought the line was "I held you closer than anyone could ever GUESS", and Ive decided I will still sing it this way because with the story in my mind, it fits better. Like no one knows they are together, so no one would guess they are, you know, having sex in his backseat.

All in all, favorite song of the moment. Ben, please marry me and not Zooey Deschanel.
