I dont know if anyone else agrees, but when i listen to this song i dont think about lovers, i think about a parent-child relationship. To me this is about me and my dad, how i feel about him. How when i was in my teens i was probaly a awful daughter yet hes stood next to me all the way. And how the tables turn, how when you get older you are more aware of his feelings and try and help him out how he has you. For instance, when she switches between them driving her home and her driving them home, now i am old enough to pick him up in a drunken mess as he did when i was younger. Well, thats my interpretation.
This was always the feeling I had about it too (well, replace dad with mum).

Either way, what this song will always mean most to me is the day I first heard it. Bought beautifulgarbage (great album BTW), took it home, stuck it on and listened through it. Got to this song, stopped the idle internetting I was doing and listened. Stopped the CD player afterwards, curled up on my bed and bawled my eyes out for the next half hour. No other song, before or since, has come close to knocking me sideways like that.
