Damien Rice actually said even more about the song at his concert in Hamburg. The story goes: The man buys the woman a lot of drinks, "accidentally" misses the last bus, hopes the two of them will hook up... When he says "Oh no, how am I going to get home? I missed my bus. What are you going to do" she says "I'm actually just waiting for my boyfriend"... At least that's what Damien said :)
If you listen to the lyrics, they are so much deeper than a stranger at a bar. There was much love once, but maybe he doen't want to give the girl the satisfaction of a song about her.
I forgot for 6 minutes to breathe.....

This performance just feels... awkward, without the backing music.

It must be strange if you're a musician & you're listening to yourself ;) Like Damien Rice here :p

this song blurred the line between music and real emotions.

i love the fact that you can barely hear the background music that's playing on his ipod...and that audience is just utterly silent...heavenly
