does anyone else think it is likely to be "You" seeing as the title alludes to the biblical story of the woman by the well? in that story apparently a woman, a whore, was approached by Jesus while she was drawing water from a well, and he knew all her secrets and troubles and confronted her openly about them all right there at the well...it dumbfounded as well as amazed her and inspired her to believe in him. just a thought.
I think, upon months of listens, that this is actually about a woman who has been through so many troubles in her life that she barely recognizes herself. She knows that she's alive through the help of G.d -- or, I suppose, whoever, whatever she believes in-- and that He's made all this happen to her for some reason or another...she restates her desire for simply His presence, and in having so, His help. at first she had been hesitant to believe in Him, as the second verse states of her loneliness and how He/"You can't know" all her secrets...but the first verse more or less argues with this, telling herself that it's actually the truth, that He knows...and now she just wants Him there with her.
