This song is indeed about Blind melon's Original Lead Singer, Shannon Hoon. Its Not commonly Known, But Part of the Song was actually written by Shannon, Though not in "Song Format". When Travis joined the Band They all Started working this song up togethor, and One of the Original 4 Gave Travis a Letter that Shannon Had written. Within that letter was written the Words that would Later Become Lyrics for this song :
"I want to live so much that I am going to die
I want to run so fast that I am going to fall"
