/\ yeah that kind of makes sense, especially when you watch the video, and at the end when Keith cries! that hurts, some one that hot shouldn't have to cry.

I know EXACTLY what this song means! A guy wants to end the relationship with his girlfriend, but can't think of the right words. He's nervous, and when he says "Im gonna wait right here, while everything is adding up" He's NOT gonna tell her until he's got the right words, or he's had it! Haha. x

i just got this song on a mix cd and it kicks butt. it makes me happy in a weird kind of way. ... brody... my ex was a skinny, big nosed, prominent adam-appled man... and i think it's more than hot... i think it's gorgeous.

This song seems to me, to be about someone feeling repressed and like they can't be heard. But anyway...good video too!
