I agree with jonasminduim. Personally, the Tori Amos version is easier for me to identify with because it is sung by a woman. Further interpretation shows a search for meaning as Simone de Beauvoir was a French author and philosopher (existentialist) who wrote The Second Sex among other writings and was involved in a lifelong relationship with Jean-Paul Sartre. To cautious for fear of being hurt, on the fence about regret, trying to make up for lost time and risk ... it's all here. Who doesn't feel this? I love this song, so so much.
