The guitar riffs during the verses and the buildup to the chorus are so pretty and set the mood so well that the hook feels underwhelming. Still a highlight in AFI's discography in my opinion because it's all around a great song, just a rare case where I prefer a song's verses to its (admittedly still very catchy) hook.
One of the best AFI songs, beautiful and is one of those songs that you can just feel in a way.
