I can't believe no one has commented on this song, it's awesome. It's just so beautiful. To me its telling a love story about a woman cheating on her boyfriend/husband. The part where she says "Would spend the night but I can't pay the price" means that she wants to stay the night but she can't because she knows it's wrong... that's what it means to me.

this song really touches me, in highschool i loved a man 5 years older than myself. when i was around him i felt so alive and just wanted to hold him forever. i knew i couldnt be with him though because of the age gap

great song. it definatley did forshadow during the oc, btu it was also used in one tree hill's second season during brooke's vinyet wheere she was talkning about love, and i think it breifly went into nathan and lucas talking abotu how haley had left. it definatley makes sense in both cases. great song used in 2 very great shows.

I just think it is about someone who just makes you feel so special, you float off the ground when they are around... unexplainable feelings... but for whatever reason you just can't be with them.

I don't know if the song is about cheating persay but it is definitely related to not being able to be with someone when there are mutual feelings, for who knows what reason.

Uhh no. I don't think it has ANYTHING to do with distance.... it has to do with the heart... social surroundings maybe... you are both there... but you just CAN'T be together... for instance when the oc used it it was played with Ryan + Marissa b/c they couldn't be together after Ryan got Theresa pregnant... I love how you can use music in movies/tv to foreshadow and see what will happen later on.

This song struck a huge chord with me. It is as though Jem knew exactly what was going through my mind at a particular moment recently. I was traveling through Turkey and at a hostel, met a wonderful guy. We hit it off and became good pals. I was developing quite a crush. This song describes what I was thinking one night while standing on some benches on the rooftop of our hostel with him looking out into the city at night with the stars out in all their glory. We were so close to making more of that night, but neither one of us made a move. It was understood how we felt about one another, but neither of us said a word to the other about it. I wanted to, but I did not. It was best not to because we live thousands of miles apart. The next day he left to continue his travels and I continued on my travel as well. But we still keep in contact and I cannot stop thinking about how nice it was being around him.

It sounds like a reference to Romeo and Juliet in this part: I know, oh yes I know that we can’t be together but, I just like to dream It’s so strange the way our paths have crossed how we were brought together hmmm, it’s written in the stars it seems Romeo and Juliet crossed paths at the party, which Romeo would have never gone to if his cousin han't talked him into going. Romeo and Juliet were also called star-crossed lovers.

I think it could be about being in a really good relationship but the part where she says < I know, oh yes, I know that we can’t be together but, I just like to dream> could maybe be the fact that they have a long distance between them and can't see each ther for while. That's just a suggestion but I also agree with chelsea12's ideas too. ^^

oh Amijsal I'm kinda touched by your entry.. I'm currently planning to go on a student exchange alone to experience how it'd be like to be alone and start over.. and just this afternoon, the thought of being alone in a foreign land was overpowering me and I felt kinda down for the whole evening but seeing your entry makes my heart smile again, and look forward to this experience with anticipation once more.. thank you so much!

csmith23 that was actually champagne supernova by oasis :P but still, both songs are amazing. For some reason, when I listen to this song I feel exactly what Jem is trying to portray. My heart flutters, I get butterflies in my stomach but yet I feel like there's something missing inside. A song that can make the listener feel this way should be praised, as well as the artist. Amazing.

Again, this song jazzed me coz of where I heard it firsst. It was on The O.C, the second season, after Summer and Seth had broken up. She went to go to Italy with Zach then discovered she still had feelings for Seth, meanwhile he had gone upstairs to their ceiling to repair their satelite wearing a Spiderman suit coz it was raining and he has no jackets. So he tripped and fell headfirst but was suspended by a rope, and this was how Summer found him, hanging upside down. She came and took off the mask from just his mouth and kissed him, just like it happened in the movie. And that was the time this song played. I was just, like, moved beyond words. It's a really beautiful song.
