What Sarah said…

One day Sarah walked with her husband. She then burst into tears for no apparent reason. Her husband asked her “What’s wrong?”. She realized that someday one of them would have to watch the other die. And so she said “Love is watching someone die”.

And so he asks us “whos gonna watch you die?”

i think the dude is just asking US, as in “us” the listeners of the song, whether we are loved by anyone.

urgh.. no one dies yet. It’s just that Sarah is sad because one day she will have to watch her husband die or one day he will have to watch her die.

.. that sadness that comes with it means that theres love. And yes, the dude asks us whether we’re loved by anyone , or do we love anyone.

Watching someone die is not a good thing, but the emotional attachment that goes with it. I guess it means something to you when you don’t want to lose someone rite ?

Personally I’ve felt that sadness before, the sudden thought you might lose someone forever. I guess thats love…
