I mean the verses, that was written over a period of years actually, that song, and the verses were much later. In other words, the chorus, "bleed to love her," was written at the top of a new relationship and the verses, "pretending that she's not there," you know, the elusiveness of all of that, was written near the end."

More BTLH: "That song actually sort of evolved over about a two year period and when I wrote the chorus in which that appears - "bleed to love her" - uh, I had just entered into a relationship with someone and I really felt that I, you know, would be willing to bleed in order to make that work. And then of course maybe two years later, uh, things had kind of, um, drifted a little bit and the verses in there are talking about how elusive someone can be, ah, which I guess is the other side of the coin."

thanks Michele.

he's so overdramatic sometimes with these "bleeding" "heroic" etc descriptions. sometimes i wonder whether he uses those words as much out of their regular meaning as when he says "burning the bridges"

which relationship was that btw? early 90s? he was with Anne Heche less than a year, right? so Cheri or someone else? seems it would be too early for Kristen, before the dance.
