When I first heard the song, just a few years ago, I just thought he had written it for me. [It’s] just a beautiful expression of how we are toward each other as people — we don’t think that we are sufficient for each other; that no one wants to know the real me or the whole me.

Not online. It’s from the taping of this episode.
