本歌歌詞評論摘要:"Sue has come to realise that
dreams can be shattered but asks if this isn't necessarily
a bad thing as we hear that she finally likes herself. In
other words she no longer aspires to something unobtainable.
She has come to terms with her life. (come to terms with 接受)
This is one of the hardest lessons we can learn
as we go through life. Not everything can be ours. We may aim
for the stars but we often fall short. (fall short 達不到﹔人生最難學習就是認清我們不能擁有一切。我們所追尋的星星可能是遙不可及的。)
品味歌詞:
本歌很細膩地呈現兩人相遇細細談話,但又言止於情深之處
-- "We talked of the tiny differences, between ending and
starting to begin. We talked because talking tells you things
Like what you really are thinking about."
But sometimes you can't find what you're feeling
Till all the words run out.
分離時的深情:
I said, "We've gotten too damn good at leaving, Sue"
She said, "Harry, you're right."
Don't ask me if I made love to her
Or which one of us started to cry
Don't ask me why she wouldn't take the money that I left
If I answered at all I'd lie."
