This is a beautiful song.

To me it's about when you first fall in love and nothing else matters. The only thing you care about is being with your loved one right here, right now. You feel on top of the world and so sure about everything. You see the rest of the world (people, responsibilities) as a sort of evil trying to break you out of your enlightenment, and you feel sorry that they aren't experiencing what you are.
