I know! I love it. I love the simplicity of the song. And the message, I mean I think its kind of like a way of living your life. I can't really explain it. A while back I was looking for the exact lyrics to double check, you know, so I wouldn't fuck up my tattoo. And I came across this guy explaining what he thought it meant. I think he said it best:

"I agree that it's about letting your guard down and becoming vulnerable enough to allow someone else to see your true self. But more than that, the line "the love you bring won't mean a thing unless you sing" is really telling... It's not enough just to say "I love you." Those words don't hold any significance unless you "sing" -- unless you're willing to bare a little of your soul and trust someone else to embrace all that you are."

And it makes you happy. :) I seriously listen to this song everyday. Every. Friggin'. Day.
