I'm down to being of the opinion that this is actually the worst song on the album, now that Scraped has grown on me. Also, by the time we get to the end of This I Love, I am so damn sick of ballads, I don't even want to hear this song. Of course, that might be because I swear to God the final vocal note of This I Love is like an ear-gasm.
The words in the intro sound very much like "I Love You".. which makes about no sense at all with the rest of the song .. but then, the whole song makes no sense, either.
