Whoo! That just gave me goose bumps! I mean, I've always loved this song but it never really made any sense to me.

Thanks for mentioning abortion. It all ties together so perfectly now. I could never really understand who he was talking to or what that whole last little conversation was about.

"I'll always be there for you, call me anytime" [The man is calling since the woman has rejected him from her life.]

"I don't mean to offend, the voice on the other end is a stranger to me" [This is the woman answering with only one line. In this one line, she summarizes their relationship. She wants nothing to do with him.]

How he sings that last line is just so powerful. Man, awesome delivery and lyrics!
