How Deep It Goes

This song is definitely about a woman chasing after a man that's like a ghost, he's there but he's not there the way she wants him to be. She loves him so much but he's so distant, from the first few verses I get the impression that he might disappear for days because he can't take the idea of being consumed by her love, or consumed by anyone's love in general. I'd call him a loner, but maybe he's a war veteran who can't handle his own head. And can't handle her head either. He can't stand to see how sad he makes her when he's trying to get away but he can't stand to be in the same room with it either and she knows it, but she wants him to understand how deep it goes. I think I just confused myself, but if anything maybe she doesn't understand that's why he keeps running is because of how deep it goes. :O The other interpretation could simply be she cheated, or they broke off for awhile, and he doesn't know how to handle this or even believe she still loves him, or can love him that deeply if she could make such a stupid mistake. or it's the other way around. He can't stand to see her sad because he's made her that way. All I know is there was a war (literal or metaphorical) There's scars and she's asking they just wash those scars and start splattering them with brand spanking new love colored paint. A fresh start. Eitherway, this song reminds me of my Aunt and her boyfriend. I'm gonna get them to marry somehow, he'd make a cool Uncle.
