ITA. The song is very bitter in its undertone. If it really is about moving on out of the darkness, why is it addressed to his ex, flinging his new relationship in her face? "YOU don't know what it means to win... so come on down and see ME again..."
Plus, the integration of The Chain is brilliant, as is Rob Thomas' anguished vocal.
