Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Is that the sun shining in your eyes?
The kind of shine you cannot disguise
I walked along the sidewalk but I fell inside
Fast as a shot bullet came the night
Those are explosives you do realize?
After the blinking eyelid came the closing of the skies
I'm the biggest expert in the world
When it comes to time and space
Eliminate the miles across land
And I visualize your face
Left it hidden in an awkward place
Beating silently unknown
Left it hidden in an awkward land
'Cause it wants to be alone
The deepest pool that you ever saw
I have one rule and I don't need more
I'd like to float for hours like a water lily pod
Fast as a shot bullet came the night
Are those explosives you do realize?
After the blinking eyelid came the closing of the skies
I'm the biggest expert in the world
When it comes to time and space
Eliminate the miles across land
And I visualize your face
I left it hidden in an awkward place
Beating silently unknown
I left it hidden in an awkward land
'Cause it wants to be alone
'Cause it wants to be alone
The kind of shine you cannot disguise
I walked along the sidewalk but I fell inside
Fast as a shot bullet came the night
Those are explosives you do realize?
After the blinking eyelid came the closing of the skies
I'm the biggest expert in the world
When it comes to time and space
Eliminate the miles across land
And I visualize your face
Left it hidden in an awkward place
Beating silently unknown
Left it hidden in an awkward land
'Cause it wants to be alone
The deepest pool that you ever saw
I have one rule and I don't need more
I'd like to float for hours like a water lily pod
Fast as a shot bullet came the night
Are those explosives you do realize?
After the blinking eyelid came the closing of the skies
I'm the biggest expert in the world
When it comes to time and space
Eliminate the miles across land
And I visualize your face
I left it hidden in an awkward place
Beating silently unknown
I left it hidden in an awkward land
'Cause it wants to be alone
'Cause it wants to be alone

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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”
