the song.
it's about the one girl you never get over,and she's the girl no body ever gets over.he's aware of this,but the really haunting part is the last line Well I've found a better method of pretending you were just some lover...i kept wondering what the better method was,and it's not alzheimer's=)...but the meaning of the song is that even when he'll be old and gray, he still won't be able to get over her,he'll still be PRETENDING she's just some lover,it will still be selfdeception,just a little wiser, but he will still be painfully aware that she wasn't just some lover.i think that this song is so horribly truthful and painful that you can only pretend and deceive yourself that it's going to stop,or that you'll be able to cope someday.
