Delilah is former professional distance/steeplechase runner Delilah DiCrescenzo.
She met the plain white T’s singer through a mutual friend, in like 2001 or so.
They were both from the Chicago area and he wrote the song when she went away to college (at Columbia in New York), they were never in a relationship though.
The woman on stage here is not Delilah
Seeing him perform that song in the Chicago burbs at a random town fall fest in the early 2000s when I was in middle school right around the time it started to blow up on the radio is a wild memory I have lol
We used to make fun of Plain White Ts when they opened for Lucky Boys Confusion. Then this song came out and rocketed them past LBC. It was unexpected, for sure.
In the early 2000s I went to see Reel Big Fish and Sum 41 opened for them. They were supposed to open up for the Mighty Mighty Bosstones later that year but blew up literally a couple weeks before the show and got their own tour.
