    Lyrics:
    In the light of the sun, is there anyone? Oh, it has begun...
    Oh dear, you look so lost, your eyes are red and tears are shed,
    This world you must've crossed...
    You said...
    You don't know me, and you don't even care, oh yeah,
    And you said
    You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains... oh yeah,
    Essential yet appealed, you carry all your thoughts across an open field,
    When flowers gaze at you... they're not the only ones who cry when they see you
    You said...
    You don't know me, and you don't even care, oh yeah,
    Well you said
    You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains... oh yeah,

    My Dad passed away this morning
    I'm sitting in a cafe with my fiance who will never be able to meet him now.
    This song is playing over the radio.
    I was, not as active in my Father's life, we lived on the other side of the country for most of my life. Far from him, and unable to regularly visit.
    He didn't have many friends and relied on me and my sisters for company via calls. I wish I'd taken more of those calls.
    I wish that I had picked up the phone last Saturday. Oh God how I wish.
    I miss you Dad, even more now because your voice is gone, your laugh, your booming presence. You were so goofy Dad. So good.
    I will always miss you. I love you Dad

    When I was 8 years old, my older sisters boyfriend taught me this song on piano. He started my true love and interest with music. In 2019 he lost his life in a car crash, now every time I hear this track I can’t help but appreciate how important of a person he was, not only for me, but for many others through his life. Hope he’s doing well up there.

    Great song. But people are misinterpreting it. It does not sum up Boston. It's not about being from Boston and missing it. It's about someone getting out of the life they're used to and going somewhere new, where they can start fresh - no one knows his name, he can be someone new. I myself am feeling kind of the opposite; I'm from Boston and would love to move to California. This song is about anyone wanting to move and make a new life for himself.

      What a subtle and observant comeback to an equally great initial observation on sunsets and sunrises! I’ve never thought about that! In both cases! And you’re right! Florida has both a west coast and an east coast.
      And now that you make me think about it the same thing is true of the Cape in Massachusetts, and probably a few other places.
      His experience may not have been as profound, sentimental, and touching but at least moving expenses would’ve been a lot cheaper for Augustana had he lived in Florida, or some other land where the sun both sets and rises over the ocean or oceans on both its coasts. Lol!

      Actually that’s not what it means at all. It means he or the implied person is tired of heartbreak and bad times in life hence a “sun set which leads to darkness”, and life filled with darkness. They want more “sun rises’s” which is a metaphor for light in your life equating to happiness and and purpose. It’s actually way deeper than you originally thought.

    It took me 20 years to find the title of this song. So happy I finally found it!!

    To me, this song represents the memories and the feelings of growing up as a teenager in the mid-2000s. Even if it were just for a day, I'd want to go back to 2005 :/

    As a 55-year-old woman I listen to this song every day. I’ve lost three siblings my 16-year-old daughter, my mother and two dear friends. I went to college with all within five years and it takes everything that I had to get up in the morning, this song makes me realize I’m alive

      This breaks my heart to read. :( I'm a 58 year old woman btw. I'm so sorry for your loss. I know it's by no accident I found this comment because I just lost my sister who was one year older than me, on July 28th, and what hurts just as much if not more, is that I hadn't seen her since 1997, and was hoping to finally get to see her again, but it never happened. I feel so lost and this song just really hits you hard, but I needed to hear it again. It's one of those songs that I come back to on a regular basis. It's just something so peaceful about it. My sister loved the beach and seagulls, just like I do. I hope you find some peace, God bless you dear. 🙏🏽🙏🏽💞💞🕊🕊

      +Jayla Smith Oh, I'm so jealous (in a happy way). I would love to see them live concert. I agree. Never one to toss love around or be a crazy groupie, but for them I could make an exception. :) >3

    You don’t know me, you don’t even care.. I miss you 2007 . This used to be on mtv on the middle of the night on weekends and summers when I would randomly wake up. Or in the mornings while I was getting ready for school ❤️💔
