	just to state the [what should be] obvious its about kids that run away together..... the significance lies in how they pictate the naivity of the pair, the abortion referances are 'balanced' by the sweater. it stops the song from being too heavy which i feel gives it tits appeal.

	I heard this song on Faction and instantly loved it. The drums are so awesome in this song. I love it even more now that I'm listening to it over and over again!
