Worried Lyrics
Are you worried about me?
Do you think there's something wrong?
Darling hurry to me
You have stayed away too long
Are you worried about me?
Baby know that I'm alright
I am coming across so wrong
I don't sound so good tonight
It's not fair for me
To act the way I've been
Maybe it's good for you
To see the way I am
Are you worried about me?
Cause I know there's something wrong
Darling hurry to me
You have stayed away too long
Too long
Do you think there's something wrong?
Darling hurry to me
You have stayed away too long
Baby know that I'm alright
I am coming across so wrong
I don't sound so good tonight
To act the way I've been
Maybe it's good for you
To see the way I am
Cause I know there's something wrong
Darling hurry to me
You have stayed away too long
Too long

To me, this sounds like a couple that's taking a break, separated, or recently broken up. There's history between these two, love, but something's changed. He's made mistakes, and I can clearly see that he wants her back, badly. He's self conscious, worried about finding the right words, afraid of completely losing her, "I am coming across so wrong, I don't sound so good tonight."
He's filled with remorse and empathetic towards what he feels as if he's put her through, "it's not fair for me to act the way I've been," but missing and longing for her. He wants to know that she still cares, "are you worried about me?" When he repeats "too long" at the end, that pretty much symbolizes the entire song. Feist's "Now at Last" has a similar longing.
