I am so in love with this song.

According to the internet (yes, I'm That Person who always looks up song interpretations), it's written from the perspective of a guy. The situation is that the girl left him in his bed to make him breakfast. and when he woke up, he thought she had left - and the song is written from his perspective. There are many different claims to the 'real story' behind this song but I've heard this one repeated on YouTube and elsewhere a few times so I'll believe it until I find proof otherwise.

I like the music, but I'm in love with the lyrics. Just the first line "Was it you who said the words, that things would happen, but not to me" caught my attention immediately.

But this verse:

See I'm all about them words
Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words
Hundreds of pages, pages, pages for words
More words then I had ever heard and I feel so alive

... That's when I became completely besotted.

The cadence of the words and the way the lyrics rolled off the tongue... yeah, I had this verse up on my Facebook text box for the longest time because I liked it so much.
