i think this song is about a guy that is completely in love with this girl. but this girl just takes his love for granted not realizing how much in love with him she is. so she puts their friendship/relationship on the shelf and goes away to experience life. on this journey of hers she sees and does things he could only imagine because he knows that he'll never do them. not because he thinks they're dumb or anything it's just that he won't ever have the chance to. she is one of those "free spirited"types and he is too attached to the ground for that. BUT she comes back after realizing that all of this and that are fun but there is something missing. him. and she finally recognizes his/her love that they share(d). the line did you fall for a shooting star one without a permanent scar i think refers to her falling in love with either a;someone who has never had their heart broken, aka scarred, because they never get close enough to fall in love because they just use people, or b;someone who may be just like him in so many ways except they don't have a "scar" like his because his came from her when she left and broke his heart. that is just my take on the song. many of my friends told me that this was my song because for such a long time after my girl and i split i always said that she was coming back someday when she realized how much i loved her and how much she loved me back.

Wow, yes. It's twelve years since you shared your thoughts. God bless you. I hope you moved on and found a truer love. The song is just as powerful now as it was when it came out.
