I can't listen to this song without getting emotional or start thinking deeply. It's just that touching to me.
I agree with everything that has been said up to this comment on the song's initial meaning. It's a great song, thus it can have multiple interpretations and people can relate to it depending on their own experience.
In my case, it was with this girl I met on the internet. She was my age, nearly all the same interests and preferences, and she was one hell of a fun chick. Unfortunately she lived far far away. All summer long we were chatting and we slowly became best friends, only to find out we had feelings for each other. To add to that, she was my very first true love. About a month ago she decided it was best for us to break up because if we ever met it would be years away from now. I begged her not to let me go but it didn't help. We still maintain contact now through Facebook and stuff but it's obvious that we'll never be the same as we were before the relationship. I still regret all this and sometimes I wish I never fell in love; then again that's one of my most bittersweet experiences in life so far.
So, I guess it's just that; "don't let me go, don't let me go", but you have no power over that. Excellent song and The Fray is at their peak.
