| When I first heard this song I thought of the movie Big Fish, just like everyone else, but it had been two years since I had least seen the movie, so I went out and rented it again and wow. I had completely forgotten the whole meaning behind "how I go" I thought he just meant his life story, but not at all. I am in love with this song, I truly am. | |

| well, the song is most definetly about the movie big fish. I could tell you the wildest of tells, my friend the giant... the man telling the stories in Big Fish clearly says this. Tell you of a girl that I saw I froze in the moment and she changed it all. again, the guy freezes time and walks up to the girl in the movie. yeah, it's about big fish all right | |

| I would be amazed to learn that this song is not about that movie. I think that it is intresting that on half of this album they mention air or breathing. Like it is an undercurrent to it all. It seems to me that this album is about them being stuck somewhare they do not realy want to be and all they want is to be free to breath. But that is just me, I could be looking at it all to much. It is a very lovely album. -And you keep the air in my lungs -How I go -Tell it all and fill up the air, but make it loud cause nobodies there -Lights and Sounds -And you breathe, the window's down -Sure Thing Falling -I wait for a lonely breath -Waiting Game -And you're my air I could breathe - M.S. or JFK -You could just sense this feeling in the air -words hands hearts | |

| It is crazy that we all thought the same, but the opening lines immediately made me think of Big Fish (FYI: "The Big Fish" is a movie made in 2000, accoding to IMDB, "Big Fish," which we're all talking about, was made in 2003). It's really a beautiful song. | |
