| vilenin.... Louise didn't write this one. It was Nina who wrote it. I'm pretty sure it's about losing love like everyone else said. | |

| NINA GORDON!!!! wrote this song and its obviously about someone up and leaving her when she thought it was gonna last. This line explains it perfectly: when you were falling from my tree I was not scared I thought you'd meet me back up there it never dawned on me you were home free it never dawned on me, no... It pretty much sums up the song | |

| this is a fantastic song, I think. It was pretty meaningful for me because it was both introduced to me by, and reminiscent of, my first boyfriend: Benjamin. I had no clue that the boy was drifting away from me... | |

| Isn't this about Nina's bunny that ran away and that's why the cover for the Benjamin single is a bunny... | |
