| Everytime I hear this song, I start to choke up. I think it is about a dysfunctional relationship. The girl is in love with him, but she is with someone who is more stable (How does it feel to know you never have to be alone when you get home?) He wants her to leave the other guy for him, but he knows he'll just have to take what he can get. That's the same vibe I get from "She Will Be Loved." I know I am really reaching, but that's what the song means to me. I like the idea that this song is about goodbye sex. Either way, it is a really bittersweet song and it is my favorite song on the CD. | |

| I used to love this song and liten to it all the time, really didn't pay attention to what it meant. Then one day I was doing what I do with every song I hear. I was creating a music video in my head, and I stared listening to the words and finally figured out had it was about (imagine how that music video would have been). Now that I actually know what it's about, I like it more for some strange reason!!! | |

| One line that could be interpreted as 'goodbye sex' doesn't sell me. I think the song is more about a girl whom the speaker loves, but runs in to a barrier with her. She either isn't interested enough, or has personal reasons keeping her from saying OK. He is saying that he will always love her, no matter what she does, or where she goes, and with who, although he seems to feel some regret that he can't shake the feeling. ("How does it feel to know you never have to be alone / When you get home") He says it almost sarcastically. He tries to lie to himself while she's gone; that he doesn't feel this way. ("Dream away everyday / Try so hard to disregard / The rhythm of the rain that drops / And coincides with the beating of my heart") To address the lines "Pushing forward and arching back / Bring me closer to heart attack": I think, taking the whole stanza in to account, that she is pushing him to move on while he is reluctant to go, and angry that she wants him to. She is pushing him forward from behind, and he is leaning back, arching his back trying to get some leverage to resist. He's panicking (the heart attack) and then finally, he says "Say goodbye and just fly away / When you come back / I have some things to say" so that he won't have to move on because he won't obstruct her next move at all. He makes an effort to give her a clear conscience. | |
