This is a very touching song that can have a lot of meanings. It goes beyond relationships and into something much deeper — the regrets, worries, and significance of separation from a loved one. This song will resonate with a lot of people for different reasons. The versatility of the meaning of this song is simply impressive although most people that hear it will reflect on their relationship with a loved one. The third line is what makes this song versatile. This could be from a car accident or a death from old age. This picture is further illustrated in the music video when the old man says goodbye to his wife which is laying in a hospital bed presumably dead. And I am feeling so small It was over my head I know nothing at all This is an attempt to demonstrate that they are lost in their actions and thoughts. This expression could mean that they are starting to own up to what went wrong and after realizing they may have potentially lost their true soul mate, they are nothing anymore. Just a scared little kid facing the world alone with no one by their side, no offense to little kids. Life is a learning experience, so are love and relationships. In the entirety of experience and knowledge on this subject they are comparing themselves to an infant that is just learning to crawl which reaffirms they have a great deal more to learn. This is a companion illustration to bring a visual to the previous lyrics. Swallowing your pride means you are letting go of your ego. This means that even though he may feel he was still right, he no longer cares, and is valuing the other person over their ego. He is now humbled and willing to admit that they were the one all along. It simply has multiple meanings. Summary Like I said, the song has many meanings, I believe it was primarily written around relationships and breakups, but when you hear how beautiful the music and lyrics go together it can cause you to apply this song to many more things in your life. If you want to get philosophical, envision the song being a memoir to yourself and the entire song written in the perspective of you talking to yourself and getting rid of an old you. A very versatile and brilliantly written song indeed. He ended up being part of our family, and right away he connected with my fiancé. This cat slept by us and was the king of the castle. He was the best most wonderful healthiest We have ever had. And a rare cat condition ; on December 6, 2013 he had one choking accident from his cat kibble. This was right before I had to go to work and story short when it up taking him to the vet and I was giving him CPR and breaths as we drove to the vet. He was declared dead after we took them in. That night this song played a few times and I wondered why. The lyrics express so much of what I know now. The anywhere lyrics state that I did love this cat and I will follow him although he loved and dedicated his loyalty to my fiancé. Hell we know how to do it for humans!!! Saying goodbye to a cat we loved is still too tough to live with. I would have do anything and given anything to have you here with us. I can relate to this. Being a pet lover over anything else in life, I have had my share of situations with pets where songs take on new meaning to me based on tragedies, happy moments, etc… love doesnt have to between two people and I believe some of the most powerful and impactful relationships we have in life can often be between a human and their pet s. I am sorry for your loss but am happy for you that you had such a meaningful relationship with this little creature whose life, though not long, was made better because of your care and love. You have made my night with this story, sad as it is. Her name is Booboo. I play this song for her. But she will crawl to me as weak as she is and find me in my home even with her dementia and she will…purr. I am sorry for your loss of Zee. I sometimes ask God to let me go with her. For us to fall asleep in my bed and us not wake up. He ended up being part of our family, and right away he connected with my fiancé. This cat slept by us and was the king of the castle.

You have made my night with this story, sad as it is. When I heard the song for the first time, I was in awe and much disbelief at the same time. The most suprising, most brilliantly created promise ring!!! When I heard the song for the first time, I was in awe and much disbelief at the same time. The most suprising, most brilliantly created promise ring!!! I thank God everyday. I lost my wife Julie 23 months ago. Married at 21 and 39 years together. Then I watched the video, OMG. Once again so sorry. I literally felt half of me die when he did. That I was in 1993. I thank God everyday. I lost my wife Julie 23 months ago. Married at 21 and 39 years together. Then I watched the video, OMG. Once again so sorry. I hope he is doing good up where he is now and i know that is a better place for him. She took him to my house and when I got home from school, she and my mom told me to look in the bathroom, and the kitten was there. He was mine, and I named him Mittens, even though he was jet black. Anyway, he stayed with us for two years, living outside through the winters and everything. There was a wall and you had to turn right to see the inside, so no wind could reach the part where he slept. He was the best pet ever, and he acted like a dog sometimes, and he would run up to me when I went out to feed him and would lick my face and purr real loud, and he would dig holes and prance around the yard. And occasionally he would crawl under the hole in the fence and explore, but always came back before dark. I hope he is doing good up where he is now and i know t
