Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
You walk alone in the valley of life
In the shadow of love
Under the trees of happiness
You walk alone like a baby unborn
Like a father unknown
Like a pocket penniless
I'm happy that you really care
But do you really know how scary
This is for you and is for me?
Oh do you really know?
Do you really know?
Oh Natasha, all I can do
Is write a song for you
Natasha, oh Natasha for you
I sit alone on the cozy ground floor
On a bench by the garden waiting also
Waiting for love
And thinking of all of
The catty remarks I also swallow
And as I've often asked before
Does anybody know how scary
This is for you and is for me
Does anybody know, anybody know
In the shadow of love
Under the trees of happiness
You walk alone like a baby unborn
Like a father unknown
Like a pocket penniless
I'm happy that you really care
But do you really know how scary
This is for you and is for me?
Oh do you really know?
Do you really know?
Oh Natasha, all I can do
Is write a song for you
Natasha, oh Natasha for you
I sit alone on the cozy ground floor
On a bench by the garden waiting also
Waiting for love
And thinking of all of
The catty remarks I also swallow
And as I've often asked before
Does anybody know how scary
This is for you and is for me
Does anybody know, anybody know

I heard this song is about a friend of Rufus who was going through a hard time and he couldn't really help her, so he wrote a song for her.
@spastic_kitty I was 6 years old when this song came out... damn.<br /> Anyway, update from 11 years in the future, Natasha Lyonne is now clean from drugs and has gained a ton of fame through her work in Orange is the New Black.<br /> <br /> ... That's why I'm here, actually.
