Please don't say we're done
When I'm not finished
I could give so much more
Make you feel, like never before
Welcome, they said welcome to the floor
It's been a while
And you've found someone better
But I've been waiting too long to give this up
The more I see, I understand
But sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
And I was struggling to get in
Left waiting outside your door
I was sure
You'd gimme more
No need to come to me
When I can make it all the way to you
You made it clear
You weren't near
Near enough for me
Heart skipped a beat
And when I caught it you were out of reach
But I'm sure, I'm sure
You've heard it before
Heart skipped a beat
And when I caught it you were out of reach
But I'm sure, I'm sure
You've heard it before
Heart skipped a beat
And when I caught it you were out of reach
But I'm sure, I'm sure
You've heard it before
Heart skipped a beat
And when I caught it you were out of reach
But I'm sure, I'm sure
You've heard it before
When I'm not finished
I could give so much more
Make you feel, like never before
Welcome, they said welcome to the floor
It's been a while
And you've found someone better
But I've been waiting too long to give this up
The more I see, I understand
But sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you

Isn't this song maybe about 2 people, the guy and the girl(the singers), singing to each other. First the guy sings:
Please don't say we're done
When I'm not finished
I could give so much more
Make you feel, like never before
Welcome, they said welcome to the floor
(this is the first moment when they break up, apparently the girl decides so, but the guy doesn't aggree and believes to have much more to give)
(then after sometime) the girl sings:
It's been a while
And you've found someone better
But I've been waiting too long to give this up
The more I see, I understand
But sometimes, I still need you
(now after sometime the guy found someone else, and the girl, who was always unsure, needs him, maybe jealousy triggered it.)(Even though the third line seams inconsistent and makes it hard to follow this concept)
the girl sings again:
And I was struggling to get in
Left waiting outside your door
I was sure
You'd give me more
(now the girl looking for the guy, chasing him, and now she is sure that he was right and he could give more)
then the guy sings:
No need to come to me
When I can make it all the way to you
You made it clear
You weren't near
Near enough for me
(no need to come to me, obviously its too late, and he says i can come all the way too you if i wanted too again, but your coldness and actions pushed me away long time ago and now its too late)
then they both sing:
Heart skipped a beat
And when I caught it you were out of reach
But I'm sure, I'm sure
You've heard it before
(both know that timing killed everything, they started together, then she wasn't sure, and her action and coldness pushed the guy away, and now that she wants him, he doesn't want her anymore)
And I was struggling to get in
Left waiting outside your door
I was sure
You'd give me more
I don't think it means that. I think when they were together, she didn't go all the way in their relationship. She was scared, unsure. She was just there, looking from the outside, "left waiting outside the door", it's the door of his love/hear.
She wanted even more because she was so scared that she wanted/ needed guarantees, but there are never guarantees in love.
"I was sure You'd give me more"... she wanted more, but the guy felt she was being distant, so he couldn't give her more. He could've give so much more, but even though she wanted it, she never got it because she had build a wall to protect herself, she didn't want to be vulnerable.
He felt that, and had so much to give:
"No need to come to me
When I can make it all the way to you
You made it clear
You weren't near
Near enough for me"
But she never let him, no matter how much she wanted. Again, she was scared and just protecting herself.
Now, they're apart, and they all want to be with each other. Now they both know now, despite the fact that they're with someone else, but even though they think that, they're not telling it to each other. They're just telling us in this song. That's the beauty. A song to communicate miscommunication....
Now it's over but it's like admitting that it is.
This reads like my life story. I adore songs that can capture a moment or feeling.
I think it is such a sad song- about the inherent insecurity in every interpersonal relationship.
Heart skipped a beat
And when I caught it you were out of reach
But I'm sure, I'm sure
You've heard it before
Despite the sparks and energy when we met, you were already in some future thought, but I'm sure I'm not the first to tell you that. From someone whose heart rarely skips a beat, it makes it all the harder. I'm still glad I met him though.
"heart skipped a beat
and when i caught it you were out of reach"
maybe for a while or two, one person in the relationship didn't really know what she wanted, but when she finally realized that she wanted to be with the other person, the other person had bailed because he was sick of waiting for her to make up her mind?
and it sucks because now that she knows what she wants, she "could give so much more" than the half-effort she gave when she was ambivalent about the relationship
i don't know if that's right, but i definitely feel like i can identify with the song in that regard.
oh, and her sultry voice absolutely makes this song.
