This song is an example of what Carrie describes in her book as the interplay between her and Corin's approaches to songwriting. Corin is direct, describing the seeking, the continuous reevaluation and redefinition, asking for a level of stability and telling Carrie “You're my life.”
Carrie breaks the narrative apart, explaining why she, in fact, can't stay still, in vague and descriptive language. “It's me if you want but it's not what I want.” It's a shared journey of unrest and rage, but Corin's request for stability anchors the song and transforms what would otherwise be a blind rush into destruction into a song about love not fully reciprocated.
