Maroon 5 – She Will Be Loved Lyrics 12 years ago
I've always thought of this song as about a relationship, but I wanted to start re-interpreting some songs into another level. I started comparing this to your love for God. "He was always there to help her. She always belonged to someone else." Maybe not necessarily someONE, but could just be anything keeping her from seeing His light- or just bad influences from people. "It's not always rainbows and butterflies, it's compromise that moves us along." Compromise to let your life be for God even though it may not always be easy. "My heart is full and my door's always open, you can come anytime you want." He's never gonna leave her. "Know all of the things that make you who you are." Obvious reasons.

John Mayer – Slow Dancing in a Burning Room Lyrics 12 years ago
I don't think it necessarily has to be a song about a technical relationship. From my personal experience, I've been talking to this guy for 11 months now and we had a couple of reasons to not really be together, he says mostly because of distance. He has a HUGE problem with it. Also, I kinda fell in love with him and he's very wary about that kind of stuff. Made things extremely complicated when he can't seem to express his feelings with anyone at all other than sexual stuff. The lines that were personal to me were:

"Can't seem to hold you like I want to, so I can feel you in my arms." -Pretty self-explanatory with the situation.. And because I would try to distance myself from him, emotionally, like I felt he did to me.
"Nobody's gonna come and save you. We pulled too many false alarms." -I can't even say how many times I've said I had given him up and moved on. I even started lying to friends about no longer talking to him.
"I was the one you always dreamed of. You were the one I tried to draw. How dare you say it's nothing to me. Baby, you're the only light I ever saw." -This one is deep to me, like everyone else. He was everything that I wanted, I even broke up with my fiance for him. He told me that all he ever wanted was someone that would love him for everything he was- which was what I had to offer. He still always had problems expressing how he felt about me until it'd get close to being over- when I would actually stand up for myself and say I didn't think he cared. But then he'd tell me that I'm his best friend and no one knows him better mentally than I do.
"I'll make the most of all the sadness. You'll be a bitch because you can." -Using those strong emotions to actually say what's on our mind. And sometimes I would get a little harsh about it..
"Don't you think we oughta know by now? Don't you think we should've learned somehow?" -Basically saying that we should've never gotten so deep into this relationship we can't have in the first place but haven't learned how to let each other go. And the repetition of these lines just reinforces that fact.
