agreed, deliriumtrigger is right about the "slip" line. this is the first song i've heard by bright eyes, and probably my favorite. "something vague" is really high up there.
to me, this song has always been about a girl that he was in love with. something happened between them, and for some reason they weren't together anymore. so he sits by her bed and watches her sleep.. and when morning comes, and she's moved on, he'll still be around remembering how happy they were together.
i've always related to it so much, its scary.. well, only the genders are reversed. i didn't like his voice the first time i heard it, but it has this effect on you that doesn't go away.
FAVORITE PART: "and i will be there standing in your shadow, knowing that you once were mine.. all mine.. my baby.. my baby.."
