Check out the quasi-reggae breakdown right in the middle. The chorus is in 7/8 with the exception of the last measure, which is 8/8. Mike does the backup vox.

Simple little song. My view on how love really falls apart. Last verse is in my opinion an add-on. I wrote it after the rest, at the behest of someone who thought it was too "un-hopeful". It may have been a goood thing.
