I agree, this song is absolutely beautiful and the slide guitar just brings it home.

I think it paints a perfect picture of a young relationship that a lot of people can relate to. The girl naively falls for the guy and follows him and his dead end dreams while neglecting herself. As she grows, she realizes that she has opinions and dreams of her own. She finds herself and leaves the guy with the realization that he screwed it up and took her for granted.
