I would've balled my eyes out if I heard this song three years ago.
I think this song is very literal and describes her boyfriend moving to New York and leaving her behind in England.
The feelings she describes I can completely relate to. She describes waking up and knowing it's almost time for him to leave. I remember counting down the weeks, days, hours and finally minutes until the last time I'd see my boyfriend before he flew to New York- leaving me in Oregon. I remember wishing those moments would last longer.
With the part:
"Have you lost the same things I have lost?
Do you know that panic I know?
Would I see the terror in your face?
Do you know that fever I know?
I wish time was still
We'd stay right here
With time to kill in our hearts without chains"
I relate this to my overpowering feelings of anger, hurt and betrayal when he told me his plans. How could my boyfriend pack everything and leave? Am I worth so little? She also describes the misery being "as weightless as a stone" and that's what it felt like.. a rock in my stomach that wouldn't leave.
