I too completely agree with Xsnowxwhitex as portrayed above - and too, I can (could) totally relate to this song when it came out. (pun intended).
Often missed, or misinterpreted though in this song is one of it's crowning moments.. the crescendo of emotion that only Susanna Hoffs could portray with such reality that you can feel it: when the girls in the background are singing behind her " .. all I want is you-u, all I want is you " .. followed with the questioning, searching for one last desparate shred of some reason to hold onto one another : "Did you want what I want? Do you want what I wanted?? ..
The verse so completely hits the mark on the powerful feeling of want, desire, and desperation in this song. It's almost palpable. I almost always shed tears when I close my eyes and listen to this ending. it hits so close to home. And even if it didn't - THIS is what it feels like.
Clearly, it's about a love in it's dying days.. and how desperate and sad the realization of that moment when it comes can be. Susanna Hoffs at her very very best.
