This was written for the Shrek 2. It appears near the beginning of the movie.

Lead singer Adam Duritz (from Billboard): "I was really struggling with it. I generally don't write songs on demand, and I almost got to the point where I thought I wasn't going to do it. They just told me that the song had to be uplifting. They actually said, 'Don't write a song about Shrek. Write a song that's about you.' The funny thing is, the song ended up reflecting a lot of what was going on in my life at the time: falling in love with someone you're not supposed to fall in love with because it's inconvenient. My songs for Counting Crows are mature and generally don't get a chance to reach kids. To be part of something like that is pretty cool." (thanks, Mike - Darkside of the Moon, for above 2)

The girl in the video is Ashley Roberst from the Pussycat Dolls. (thanks, Stefani - Amherst, WI)

I can really relate to this song. When the right person walks into your life..you just know. Sometimes love comes around when you least expect it, but it's these times that make it worth it... The lyrics really describe the feeling of falling in love when you least expect it. Nai, Melbourne, Australia

For some reason whenever I hear this song I feel that it means that the only way you can find love is that it just drops in your lap. I never thought it necessarily was about how you didn't want that relationship to be because you couldn't help it. But that's just me and I'm weird.

It's actually about a girl he met in Dublin. I went to their gig last time they were there just after it was released and Adam was talking about it. They didn't work out '_' Fantastic concert.

its kind of like you do something that you werent supposed to do that you did, and everything just was perfect.

heh, it really is frustrating when ur the type of person that falls immediately for whomever shows interest in you. it's feels like a disease almost. and u really do start thinking "how much longer WILL it take to cure this." u can't help falling in love, it just happens to ya.
