    Had a wonderful woman that I took for granted call me on a weekend playing this song on guitar for me. She was a gifted music teacher and just said hey I am going to learn guitar. She called at like 3 AM playing this song for me. She worked on it in one day and played it for me. I just blew her off because I was scared of commitment. Now she's married and I can't help wonder about her. Glad she was able to find someone that made her happy. This is a beautiful song and it's so fitting to our situation.

      I don’t think so thanks for sharing. This song brings back so many memories for me while I was in college. If I could only go back in time.

    For me, it reminds me of my dad. We were estranged for the majority of my childhood. We briefly reconnected in my early 20s but I still had bitterness and resentment. I turned my back on having a relationship with him. He passed away 3 1/2 years ago from stage IV bladder cancer. He listed no next of kin and it was months later that we found out. For me, personally, this song describes our relationship...
    A letter for the things that never start (our relationship)
    Funny how the words we never say turn into the only thoughts we know...and I cannot believe I let you go. This is the deepest lyric for me. Everything I never said out loud, I say in my head over and over. I had the chance for a meaningful relationship and I turned by back and let him go.
    The restless dream we left behind, I never will forget...what we could have had, will always be in my heart.
    He is not a memory. He is my restless dream because I will never forgive myself. He wanted a relationship. He tried to make up, as best as he could, for lost time. He tried to live in the present. I couldn’t let the past go.

    There's definitely a much more melancholy tone and inflexion about his tunes compared to previous albums. To me, it just reveals the toll of what had been dealt to him. A reflection of his hollow success of returning to normalcy.
    That's what makes the music beautiful, because things will never return to how they were, and we'll always momentarily have painful reminders of what once was. This is what makes us strong. It's what makes his music so powerful, the hollow reality of his mournful music.

    this song reminds me of my friend. we still live in the same town and go to the same school but she hasnt talked to me for two months and it feels like she is a thousand miles away. she is a great friend and this song makes me think about how close we are but how one little mistake makes us so far apart.

    I’ve loved Jack’s Mannequin and Andrew McMahon since I was in college and someone introduced me to Something Corporate. This is the song I love most. It’s always the person who you’ll never see or talk to again that you want to share this song with the most.
    I know I’m late to the party and likely no one will read this but here’s how I interpret the video.
    The guy in the desert is a metaphor for your memory. It wanders around finding random things and then firing off memories connected to those things, signified by the flares into the sky. Maybe it’s a place or an item but randomly his memory will fire off whatever is associated with it and it seems so real for just a moment.
    In this video I think the photo is a photo of a girl that he once loved and maybe they were never together or it ended badly but he’s tried to bury her memory away. But every once in a while he finds, or sees, or hears, or even smells something that reminds him of her, symbolized in the video by his memory finding a photo of her. When his memory fires up the flare it is met with other flares or memories because of all the times he shared with her. But she’s out of his life now and it keeps him awake at nights thinking of all that was and could have been.
    Anyway that’s my interpretation. I find the song nostalgic and heartbreaking. Maybe it’s because I’ve experience more loss than love in life but this song will forever be on my playlist.

    Who heard this song and was reminded of "Oh My Sweet Carolina" by Ryan Adams? Both beautiful, such a great melody, and Andrew's is different enough that I can appreciate both songs separately but I have to think that Andrew was somehow responding to that song, whether subconsciously or not.

    One, two, three, four
    I write you from this grounded airplane
    I wonder how you've been and where you are
    A letter to the one who slipped away
    A letter for the things that never start
    Oh my imagination running wild
    Guess I've missed you from the day that we first met
    Crazy, this fascination makes a sound like a twister in my mind
    The restless dream we left behind I never will forget
    It's funny how the words we never say
    Can turn into the only thoughts we know
    But Austin's just so very far away
    And I cannot believe I let you go
    Oh my imagination's running wild
    Guess I've missed you from the day that we first met
    Crazy, this fascination makes a sound like a twister in my mind
    The restless dream we left behind I never will forget
    This restless dream
    And so I called you from the darkness of my room
    You'll never be a memory, now you're a restless dream
    A restless dream
    And so I write to this address that I don't know
    You said you had to leave and we lost track
    So if you hear this on the radio
    I've said it now and there's no turning back
    Oh my imagination running wild
    Guess I've missed you from the day that we first met
    Crazy, this fascination makes the sound like a twister in my mind
    The restless dream we left behind I never will forget
