Hi i'm not really a DCFC fan (or rock for that matter) but came across this song which i thought was cool. Anywayz just wanted to know fully what it's about... i just assumed it was about a girl called Sarah who was like his girlfriend/wife who's dieing etc but basiccly he doesn't love her, that correct?
it's just the 'so who's gonna watch you die' line what's that about? that mean he isn't the person who's gonna watch her die so doesn't love her or what?!
Sarah is a friend of the band's and she is getting married I think (can't remember) and she was talking to them about how in 50 years she is going to have to watch her love die. They explain it in UNDER THE RADAR. a magazine.

very self explanitory.
sarah would the the character who ben is reffering to in "and im thinking of what sarah said".
just put it together mate.
Oh right i get it know, 'so whos gonna watch you die?' is directed to me/us the listeners of the song? that's a question for me! like i said i just assumed he was asking the bird in the hospital bed... D'OH!!!
personally i think it means that whoever bens singing it to (i mean there has 2 be someone!) that love (u no that invisible force/power of love) is wacthing someone die and that person that bens singing it 2 has no love so whose gonna wacth them die? if im right its a horrid mean thing 2 say
