i remember listening to this when i was like 13. i didn’t really understand the feelings of the song but i got the message. almost ten years later this song resonates with me . . .

Thats me right there. I have memories with this song back home when I was around 13 as well but I've been in Britain for years now and I just got out of a 3 year relationship so this song just randomly popped in my head and it just hits different now.
