Assuming that there is "more to life than love, and being together", as the song apparently concludes on that note, what is that?
The song seems to relate to a specific relationship, but to me it doesn't seem as if Tegan is asking for something more than just their love and proximity, but for the meaning of life. What is there to life if not finding the person you want to spend your life with? The song seems to use the relationship for its surface meaning, and that the break up gives rise to much deeper and older thoughts.
The song is beautifully written. The beginnings of the first and second verses are so simple, yet so striking. "you said you couldn't love me...all I do is love you". 'Aw shucks', anyone?
Also, why are there so few comments about this song?? I find the line "is there more to life than love and being together?" in my head every day. And I really wish that Tegan answered the question within the song with examples. Because I can't seem to figure it out. I realize that there is plenty in this world to fill your life with, but what else is as profound, crucial and worthwhile as love? Everything else seems so futile and boring.
Please help.
my little thought on this song is kind of like that from melodee. but I always thought that the lyric was saying "there's more to life than love and being together." which at first i thought was an empowered way of moving on past a fixated-not-working relationship... of any kind. To me it would mean just moving on, seeing the other things in life that you love, other than just that one person, like other people and things. It leaves off with a bit lacking resolution, so the way I'm left seeing it is this:...

It leaves off with a bit lacking resolution, so the way I'm left seeing it is this: you're in a relationship with someone, you love them but it's not working out, they leave and you just can't let them go because it was love and how could your heart be wrong? But after a while you've got to look around at the other things you love so that you can be a whole person and be open to love again. Maybe it will come back around with that person, but there is still more to life than just being with that one person. Don't know how much sense that makes, but yeah. Another interpretation!
