This is such a wonderful song. To me it relates to the way my relationship developed with my husband. In the first verse it seems to go over how the boy is offering his help, but understands that kind of investment and caring will lead to feelings. So in return he will want her feelings. He'll deal with everything, just dont "friend zone" him. In the second he tells her that if she wants him she needs to look for him. Though hes not hiding from her, it shows some effort because hes not easy to find. It would show him that she has some kind of interest for her to go through the trouble. But it keeps him distant enough to keep his feeling safe. In the third things have a slight change. She seems to know where he is, but it also seems like hes let her know. To him he sees her "blue veins" which can just be simple and mean the blues. He wants to help her even more now. In the last it seems that he cant really help it anymore. Just talking to him, getting to know him (asking questions) will lead him to being hers. When you get to know someone or someone shows interesting in getting to know you, and you like them, sometimes you just sigh in longing. So just asking him questions is making him long to know, care and help her more than ever. In conclusion, it went from him trying to keep distant to protect himself from feelings, to her just getting to know him brings him to sighs. |

I think this song is more of an ache of hidden love. The waste is his love, all the love he can give. But without the acceptance of his love, it goes to waste like unpicked fruit on a tree. All those gifts hes willing to give die in waste. The first time he says "time must wipe us out" I think refers to the idea of him and her together and he cant be having that. With time, that needs to fade because Its not going to happen. Eventually his emotions get out and its clear how he feels. The only person he sees is her. And regardless of what he does, time cant erase how he feels. He will always suffer. In the third verse is where he becomes exhausted. Hanging on trying only leaves him wallowing in the pain that this desire brings. Hes suffered greatly, and to him its becoming too much. Once again he hopes time will release him. In the end though, still all he wants is his chance. |
