Always thought this story was about going through a breakup or rather the after effect.. but you still feel that the person is meant for you. Still you keep hoping they will come back into your life. A sweet and beautiful song :-)

Consoled a cup of coffee but it didn't wanna talk. lovely little lyrics pop up here and there. my jewel-obsessed friend tells me that jewel writes half her songs while high. true? ..... and, yeah, insatiable, i've done the whole 'look for someone in public places when you know they won't be there' :)

this is my next favorite song by jewel..it had a lot of meaning in such simple phrases. her songs are easy to like because they talk about things everyone has gone through and she talks about the truth...shes one of the best songwriters ever.

This song reminds me of Bruce Springsteen's "One Step Up." Any fans of this song should definitely check it out. I won't say which one I prefer though. You can judge for yourself. But I'll always love The Boss.

This song reminds me of my own love life, but who hasn't said that... it's that lonelyness and wanting for that someone you can't have. That agony that you feel without them... So alone and sad.

my favourite jewel song i think jewel is basically summing up all the different stages a person goes through after a breakup using the different stages in a persons day. She starts in the morning, the persons doing their daily morning routine (making breakfast)- the persons trying to carry on as normal as if nothings happened but somthings missing. Then she turns to hope - does all the things she never did before (dont leave the keys in the door) in the hope that he'll come bak soon the chorus is basically her trying to convince herself that the person will realise they are wrong n come bak to her the bridge is finally her realising that she has to move on n that shes not alone - everyone has breakups i love the last chorus in this song cos it sounds like shes crying when shes singing, very emotional song and beautifully written.

I love this song. I can't really relate or anything but I think its about how she misses her ex boyfriend and how everthing reminds her of him. "Take a deep breath and a good look around" and "I just shouldn't think anymore tonight " obviously mean that she's trying to adjust but it's not working out. Somehow she needs to move on. But I adore the song and I love the artist. Merry Christmas!

im not a huge fan of jewel but i really like this song cuz it actually does capture the feeling of a break up/ trying to get over someone. everythings soo true. like the line that goes "i'm half alive but i feel mostly dead" and the whole movie part too.

I think it's about how life goes on after you break up with someone. You want them to still be in your life to tell them all the little things that happened, and you can't. Needless to say, I can relate.
