I just saw Damien Rice in concert. He explained that this song is about letting go of regret. He remembers his Grandfather laying on his death bed before he spoke of the things in his life that he wished he could take back. The thought of waiting until the end of your life to face your regrets seemed terrible. He wanted to people to hear this song and let go of all the things they regret and start fresh now. Shed the baggage of regret now before its too late and don't be held down by the weight that regret can have on you.
