The story behind the song

This song captures the feeling of escaping a difficult relationship, inspired by a friend's experience. It speaks to reaching a breaking point, thinking everything was your fault, and then finally getting out, feeling like you've "landed" and can breathe again. Released in 2005 on the album Songs for Silverman, Ben Folds initially omitted string arrangements but later restored them, feeling they added to the song's emotional depth. At its heart, it's a song about finding solid ground after a turbulent time.
