I've always loved this song and thought of it in terms of a romantic relationship. But listening to it for the first time since graduating from college, it's taken on this new personal meaning. There were so many times, especially in the last year of school, when I got through hard days by knowing that at the end I would be able to go back to my dorm with my roommate and my friends. There were so many times when my friends showed up unexpectedly and completely turned around my day. Even when everything felt like it was crashing around me, having them by my side through it all made it seem bearable. That's what this song now calls to mind for me.
