Oh this is beautiful, love the intro to it, sort of a song that is showing how much he loves her even though they arent together anymore?

davidecoyote - you covered it all so well.. i agree completely.. but just to feel that i've said my bit; i think that he treated her badly toward the end of the relationship and although he didn't want it to end, he would have rather it have ended the way it began and was for the most part.. he realises that it's too late to mend their relationship but he still has an ounce of disbelief.. he's giving her closure, getting it for himself.. saying i loved you, i love you and i want you to be happy in doing all you ever dreamt but never imagined you could with me by your side.. so divine.

This song is makes me sad... The guy is thinking about their relationship and how most of it was good, but he also knows that it could have been better. He knows that she wasn't happy but he wishes he could have stopped her. He misses her but wants her to be happy. He wants her to go on with her life and all the things she couldn't do before while in the relationship....I love the last line of the song "Take a glorious bite out of the whole world"

This song makes me very sad. 'You could be happy, I hope you are; you made me happier than I've been by far' that must be one of the most pure feelings of love.

I like this song but I think the ending chords need to repeat a few more times and get louder cos it kind of leaves you hanging.

Its like hes looking back on the relationship and saying she can now go and do the things shes always wanted to without him there to hold him back.

so beautiful.. when you love someone enough to just want them to be happy, although that means not being with the person it sure is true love..

Such a beautiful song - one of the best on the album. I agree with zedzedBadnusty, the line "somehow everything I own smells of you" gives me tingles. It rings so true, ahh how I love these guys...

"You could be happy and I won't know" i think this is just about the most depressing thing that can be said about someone you love

You know, when I first heard the intro I kind of thought it sounded like something out of Postal Service or Death Cab for Cutie...

the song speaks for itself where the meaning is concerned...personally I don't think the meaning needs to be discussed :) For a subject so personal this is beautifully selfless.
