Waiting for a little sign
Seems like to no avail
Strolling down the pavement aimlessly
She is praying for someone
To snatch her bag of memories
How come you call it destiny
When cross you bear is
Your only company
Never seen you
I don't even know your name
But still I believe
That you are gonna save me
Somehow I got a notion
Just a little affection
On this cold and windy road
Save me from a state of unemotion
Just a little affection
On this windy road
Why is it all so confusing
Why does growing up hurt so bad
We seek and we get lost
And I don't know what is gonna be
Never seen you
I don't even know your name
But still I believe
That you are gonna save me
Somehow I got a notion
Just a little affection
On this cold and windy road
Save me from a state of unemotion
Just a little affection
On this windy road
I don't know if I can
I don't know if I should
I don't know what is right
And what's to come if you would
Here I stand in the rain
Here I stand in the cold
I'm reluctant to get
Another shot at my soul
I'm afraid of that hole
Seems like to no avail
Strolling down the pavement aimlessly
She is praying for someone
To snatch her bag of memories
How come you call it destiny
When cross you bear is
Your only company
I don't even know your name
But still I believe
Somehow I got a notion
Just a little affection
On this cold and windy road
Save me from a state of unemotion
Just a little affection
On this windy road
Why does growing up hurt so bad
We seek and we get lost
And I don't know what is gonna be
I don't even know your name
But still I believe
Somehow I got a notion
Just a little affection
On this cold and windy road
Save me from a state of unemotion
Just a little affection
On this windy road
I don't know if I should
I don't know what is right
And what's to come if you would
Here I stand in the rain
Here I stand in the cold
I'm reluctant to get
Another shot at my soul
I'm afraid of that hole

Pretty self-explanatory. Someone who's become closed-off, unemotional from the experiences of growing up in a cold and indifferent world, but who still holds onto the (possibly pointless) hope that there's someone they'll run into who he'll love, and can help fill in the holes in his psyche.
A seemingly common state. I know this song speaks perfectly clearly to me, and reminds me of times where I'd suddenly get the urge to go out for a walk, even at 3am, because I somehow "knew" that I'd find someone else who was just looking in the same way.
The last line is "I'm so alone" - the song to me is about someone forcing himself to be optimistic, in a desperate attempt to cure his loneliness. I find it quite a depressing song.
