| Gawd, this is such a great song. And as RivalSchools said so perfectly correct "one of the best songs by one of the best bands"... it's about seeing a girl for the first time and falling in love. Just feeling that connection, knowing that you're gonna be great w/ someone before it even gets to that point. Chris Conley words it so well. | |

| Seeing that one person and knowing they're absolutely amazing.. leaving you speechless. I think everyone has been in the situation. The butterflies in your stomach.. the sweaty palms.. flushed cheeks.. and a perfect view of your shoes.. heh. | |

| Connley speaks so pure in this poem. When i remember shit from my past, i can only remember random ass shit... like riding a bike down hill one day then goin home... i never remember birthdays or weddings or any of that supposedly memorable crap... i think its because i only remember the best of what was normal to me... here Connley was having a normal day but seeing that girl is what made it best for him... inculding the summer mist, wet patio, warm ginger ale and all that good shit. | |

| Saves The Day is the best band ever. Their lyrics are so amazing and they can just take any moment in your life and write it like no one else. And the words they use in some songs to describe a situation or feeling is just...theres no way to describe it. | |

| this song reminds me of a guy who meets a girl for the first time, and it is a love at first sight thing. where he says "whoa who is this" and "oh my god i think i'm falling"...you can tell that he is immediately attracted to her and just looking at her is enough for him. | |

| I always thought this song was good, then I went on to read the lyrics and saw the awesome imagery, I always caught myself humming to it at work or wherever after reading the lyrics. For some reason I always wondered if Id ever have a night like the one chris did that summer eve. Always was waiting for it to happen I guess. Then one day at my lake walking down the road after a rainstorm, I saw this girl I knew from work, and bam there was my moment, and i was listening to none other then this. | |
