I don't actually like this song. But I like some of the lines. I think the important part of a lyric is that it affects you in some way (not necessarily a good way...) and there is a line here that really gets me.
"And all I feel is guilty as I rubberneck a wreck on the highway..."
On a 4 hour drive back from my (now ex-)girlfriend's house, wondering what was going wrong with the relationship, wondering if it was my fault, wondering if I was a good person. Wondering what I would do if I was the first person to the scene of an accident. I knew basic first-aid and had done courses in that sort of thing, thought I'd pull over if anything like that happened. Turned the corner. Crushed motorbike smoking on the side of an embankment, motorcyclist lying on the side of the road, not moving. No other cars around. Drove past before I realised what I was looking at. Kept driving.
If there is a God, he tested me, and I totally failed. I have felt guilty every day since.
