i agree, icesk8ngurl. i love that line. and, i think that if you spend a significant amount of time in a relationship with anyone, something happens -- it's almost as if there grows this sense of belonging to one another, simply because you have created a part of your history together, regardless of what that history was like.
i also love this part: "i died the day you disappeared, so why would you be welcome here? ride the wind that brought you back away. no, you can't come in. no, you can't come in." it's so heartbreaking the way she sings it, especially the "no, you can't come in". partially, i think i like this song so much because i relate to it on a personal level, rather than what it sounds like the situation in the song might actually be. i was in what i would consider to be a long-term relationship, and my girlfriend moved away. the plan was that i would be moving out there with her, just a little bit later. anyway, she ended up calling it all off, meeting someone else (who apparently could be for her what i was unable to), breaking up with me, moving on without me... and we definitely had our issues, but the thing was that it was just not at all how it was planned, not at all the direction in which i saw things going. it was abrupt, and completely unexpected, and left me sort of abandoned and lost. at one point, she did come back to visit, but never told me she was coming. i found out afterwards. i have not seen her in close to a year and a half now, and when i listen to this song, particularly the aforementioned part... i always think of her. i feel like if i saw her again, i might forget how to breathe, i might die on the spot. but i would not let her in my goddamn door.
