no one talk about Sy songs .... except us ... i always remind of a girl listening to this song ....i even talk to her anymore ...this part of the lyrics remind me more than the rest "your genetic kiss reveals i'll always be with you "

one of my favorite SY songs. it's too good to be a b-side... it seems like it's a pretty straightforward love song. it's message seems to be 'seize the day, you never know what will come tomorrow'.

Not quite a love song.. There's some bitterness of regret.
