When I first heard this song, I was running the gambit of long distance relationships. Somewhere between going off one or heading into one. This spoke volumes to that turmoil. How you could know what it was like to be a part of relationship that would be completely normal - and see yourself on the outside of it looking in (like through the window at the empty chair). How you find yourself choosing the physical relation in those few times together, and the emotional relationship happening in other ways, like by phone or letters -- and finding in those moments the things you love the most are the things you miss.
Worst of all is those moments when you realize how lonely a relationship can be. Sitting alone in a hotel room working through the grammar of our fears.
