I'm amazed at how many people misinterpret this song. It may be a love song but this is really a song about HEARTBREAK. If you think this song is about two people in love then you were fooled by the pretty melody and aren't actually paying attention to the lyrics. Even the first lines give it away:
Makin my way downtown
Walkin fast
Faces pass and I'm homebound
Starin blankly ahead
Just makin my way
Makin my way
Through the crowd
Does this sound like a happy relationship? She is not going to HIS home, she is going to her OWN home. She has clearly experienced a heartbreak which is why she is walking this way, without emotion, just trying to get home.
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
She wants to freeze time to stop the heartbreak. She doesn't want it to end.
This isn't a happy song. In fact you can hear how sad she is with the words. You can hear exactly how crushed she is. She wants something so badly that she can never have. Maybe he died, maybe he dumped her, but this song is NOT about two people who would walk 1,000 miles to see each other. This song is about ONE PERSON who would walk 1,000 miles to try to save a dying flame.
