Cover art for Low Rising lyrics by Swell Season, The

I am amazed by this song, it definitely has a "Into the Mystic" kinda feel (also one of my favorites.) To me, this song expresses the fact that this relationship isn't necessarily at rock bottom, but according to the singer it can only go up, and he's going to make sure it does, if only for "the love of you."

Also, now that I think of it, perhaps the singer has just realized how in love with her he is. And now that he realizes he's been a jerk, he can't believe she's still there. And he wants to turn it all around and start to work on this relationship.
