I see this as a relationship that's failing. "The light is fading all too soon." He's left carrying two umbrellas because she's not there with him. The couple had deep feelings for each other. She showed him "her deepest fears", but for some reason, the relationship is not quite fulfilling. "It can't be all." And then when they tried to repair it "She gave you more to find", he was too stubborn to respond to respond to her needs, and blamed the problems on her. "You let her think she'd lost her mind". He didn't know how to handle it if she got emotional on him. "Feeling helpless if she asked for help or scared you'd have to change yourself " The guy put up his walls to keep himself safe. "And you can't deny this room will keep you warm. You can look out of your window at the storm" He's essentially looking at the relationship from the safety of his walls because he doesn't want to be in the rain. But he's also feeling the loss. He's desperately waiting for her to call because he wants her back. He'll "take her anyway way she sings." |
