Lyric discussion by picturethescene 

i think that this song is about those life defining moments of your life that make you who you are, those moments that make you glad to be alive. doing something and looking back without any regrets. it's about wanting to be loved. it's about wanting time to never end, loving someone and being loved back. it's about trust, companionship and closeness, and reaching out to those around you, and how that can just make you feel like you "just don't care" "the thunder before the lightning" represents the seconds of doubt/worry before a defining moment and just having the guts to do it... "there you are sitting in my garden, clutching my coffee, calling me sugar" for me, represents that after taking the risk to reach out to someone, they may reach out to you too, and become part of your life, like you had never been apart, and now they are casually sitting in your garden sharing your coffee... this song makes you think twice about everyone around you and how much they mean to you. maybe i'm crazy, i've never done anything like this before! but i think that summarises the power of this song ;)

Almost brought me to tears with this amazing description.

I heard the song the night Pink went acrobatic on the Grammys while sitting bedside with my father who was terminally ill.

He passed away that night and this song overcomes me every time I hear it. Your description is spot on.

You are a great thinker!!!
