To me this song isn't about a relationship with others, its about the relationship with ones self. When i first heard it i was (and still am to an extent) severely depressed, and this song almost perfectly describes the inner turmoil of finding happiness and self worth... the lines that always gets me are:
"I dive in at the deep end
You become my best friend
I wanna love you but I don�t know if I can
I know something is broken
and I'm trying to fix it
Trying to repair it anyway I can"
its like trying to convince yourself that you're going to get better, or trying as hard as you can to have some respect for yourself, and all the while knowing that all you have is you, and that no-one else will be able to help you... ok so its a pretty schizophrenic interpretation but thats what this song means to me, and the belting "oooooooohhhh, oooooooohh"'s are killer too...
