| this song takes my breath away. the way she plays the piano makes it sound so wonderful. anyway, i believe it's doing anything and going anywhere for the ones you love. you would make any kind of sacrifice just to see them. | |

| i so diaagree with sane! she is not a carbon copy of michelle branch! how can anyone say that? and even if you do consider her a carbon copy if u think about it everyone has to copy someone... anyways if you wanna say people are carbon copies go talk about nysnc n the backstreet boys... they copied off of the jetson 5 ! | |

| ok, everyone knows what the song is about, and it is really a great song. Probably the first poppy think i've liked in a while (if not ever). It totally has to do with the piano, and the fact that she writes these songs herself. Anthing with piano makes me crazy! I love it so much! I think i fell in love with this girl. She is so cute, i just want to squeeze her! I dont care if she is trendy and a little cheesy, she plays piano and has such a cute innocent look, it kills me. Man, how great would it be to be that guy she's willing to walk a thousand miles for? i gotta be that guy, for someone at least... | |

| This song is so wonderful. It reminds me about how much I miss my friend who lives in another state. He means a lot to me, and I would do anything for him, just likeIts always times like these When I think of you And wonder if you ever think of me Cause everythings so wrong And I dont belong Living in your precious memory I want to keep his memory with me forever and never forget how much he means to me. Bottom line, great song that portrays how a lot of people feel and don't know how to say it in the right words. | |

| I am total Anti-Pop, but i absolutely love this song. Its absolutely beautiful, especially the piano. I think this song is about someone who's in a long distance relationship, and there are obstacles. But, that doesnt matter, because "you know i'd walk a thousand miles, just to see you" | |

| i dont usually like pop songs but theres just something about this one that .. clicked for me. My friends and i went out for a random drive one day and listened to this over and over, it was like one of those cheesy scenes in movies where everyone's so happy u'd throw up, but it was also really cool .. =) | |
