This song could have been written by me (If I had any musical talent whatsoever). It describes how I feel as well as any song possibly could. The song is filled with visuals, my favorite being:
Lying awake in an ocean of teardrops
I float away
I think it sums up the heartbreak of first love quite well and unlike a lot of love songs, it doesn't insist on being overly optimistic, it more or less states that love is almost an impossible thing to maintain and it doesn't sugar coat it. It also states one the hardest things there is to learn about lost love:
It’s over when it’s over
What can I do about it
Now that it’s over
Anyone who had a love close to this Knows what I’m saying Anyone who wants a dream to come true Knows how I’m feeling All I can think of is you and me Doing the things I wanna do All I imagine is heaven on earth I know it’s you Anyone who ever kissed in the rain Knows the whole meaning Anyone who ever stood in the light Needs no explaining But everything more or less appears so meaningless Blue and cold Walking alone through the afternoon traffic I miss you so Anyone who felt like I do Anyone who wasn’t ready to fall Anyone who loved like I do Knows it never really happens at all It’s over when it’s over What can I do about it Now that it’s over Everything more or less is looking so meaningless And fades to grey Lying awake in an ocean of teardrops I float away Anyone who felt like I do Anyone who wasn’t ready to fall Anyone who loved like I do Knows it never really happens at all It’s over when it’s over What can I do about it Now that it’s all over Anyone who felt like I do Anyone who wasn’t ready to fall Anyone who loved like I do Knows it never really happens at all It’s over when it’s over What can I do about it Now that it’s all over It's all over, baby
