after one of our cross country meets, i was driving home listening to this song and i started bawling. i was the slowest person on the team, and i usually finished dead last, minutes behind the person in front of me. that meet, though, was the first one where i was close enough to someone to beat them. so the line "i was not alone, i think it was the first time" really hit home, as did the part about "cheering and smiling." i love this song. it totally captures the moment and it...just...is awesome.
