| This song reminds me of myself considering my current arrangements. I'm currently on BSU campus as a HS Junior. Moved away from all I've ever known, and this song represents that to me. I'm fine so long as I remember all that my past has taught me. Oh, and the Alamo, too. | |

| Rob's voice is awesome in this song! It fits so well with the piano in the begginning and throughout the whole song. I think it's kind've obvious about what it's about. His girlfriend left him because she needed (wanted) to go to the big city. | |

| I recently moved away from my girl into the "big city" of Indianapolis. I'm so busy now I rarely have time to visit with her or anything like that. This song's really about a guy who got left behind by a girl who still loves him for the big city. She left without marrying him and he wonders how he's going to make it without her love. | |

| i feel like this song was written for me. when i graduate, i'm going to move to New York City to become a writer; it's my dream. i'm going to have to leave my loved ones behind, and i feel very sad and have an incredible sense of longing when i hear this song. i also feel a little disappointed, because the band makes it seem like New York will either make you or break you- most likely break you- and i know they speak the truth, no matter how much i don't want to admit it to myself. | |

| It's the classic story of a small-town girl wanting to leave for the city thinking it will be adventurous and different while the guy that loves her is terrified that it will only rob her of her purity and make her cynical. He sees it as her choosing this unknown place over the familiarity of their relationship, but he insists that he's just a colorful and exciting... but unlike these city people, he really cares about her. He's concerned about what's going to happen to him after the city makes her bitter and untrusting... so he's beggin her to come home before that happens. | |

| "Some things in this world They don't make sense Some things you don't need Until they leave you And they're things that you miss." this reminds me of moving away from my hometown and everything familiar to me, and the nostalgia that i feel when it gets lonely being on my own. | |

| i think this song is about trying to figure out what you want to do with life...stay with the person you love and live a small life, or fulfill a lifelong dream of being highly successful. | |

| This song expresses exactly how it feels when someone you love makes important decisions that you cannot be a part of. You're happy to see them succeed, but you don't want to lose them. | |
