anyway- this song really haunts me. what i get from it (and what i relate to):
this song is about your first love. how they gave you all your firsts, and showed you a lot of emotions you had never felt before. but like with every relationship- it comes to an end.
i especially love -
"And you know it's always the same
When I do wrong it's you that I blame"
it just reminds me of the small relationships you have after that one strong, loving one. with every small fling that ends, you think back to what went wrong with your last true relationship.
i'm pretty sure it's a song about a mom from the kid's point of view. "and you gave me fingers and hands and hair and you did it without even trying", symbolizing his birth
it also makes sense if you think about
"And you gave me everything I need to live
And now I need to leave you behind."
about leaving home to grow up, and
"And you taught me how to love wrong
And I learned it so long ago
Now I can't change"
i think it's about a mom that left their kid behind emotionally (and maybe actually)...

i agree that it is really haunting, i listen to it all the time
i think you are right on the money radio5434. this is my fiance's fav band right now and he just mentioned to me yesterday that he thought this was a song about being abandoned by one's mother. why do more people not know about these guys? they are one of the best groups making music right now.

i can't believe there aren't more comments?

I think it's obviously directed toward a mother. Also, it's probably no coincidence that "Mary" is the most maternal name in history.
