You Will Be Mine Lyrics
She moved in to the house next door
Said she'd never been in love before
Tried the best she could to hide herself away
But every time she turned the lights down low
He thought he heard a voice calling out so slow
Come and take me away from all this pain
And he said
I see you sitting there at the window sill
Looking for shooting stars
I wanna get closer and closer still
I wanna take over your heart
You will be mine, mine
Over time, time
You're gonna find, find
I'll make you mine, mine
Every morning when she came outside
He tried to be the one to catch her eye
But she would only turn away and hide
He started to concoct a plan
To get her to return the feelings that he had
To show her how he thought they were entwined
I see you sitting there at the window sill
Looking for shooting stars
I wanna get closer and closer still
I wanna take over your heart
You will be mine, mine
Over time, time
You're gonna find, find
I'll make you mine, mine
Little love letters written in red
Folded up, put away next to the bed, oh
Little crushed hopes every day
Waiting in the wings to spirit her away
Said she'd never been in love before
Tried the best she could to hide herself away
He thought he heard a voice calling out so slow
Come and take me away from all this pain
And he said
Looking for shooting stars
I wanna get closer and closer still
I wanna take over your heart
Over time, time
You're gonna find, find
I'll make you mine, mine
He tried to be the one to catch her eye
But she would only turn away and hide
To get her to return the feelings that he had
To show her how he thought they were entwined
Looking for shooting stars
I wanna get closer and closer still
I wanna take over your heart
Over time, time
You're gonna find, find
I'll make you mine, mine
Folded up, put away next to the bed, oh
Little crushed hopes every day
Waiting in the wings to spirit her away

Obsession. Possessive love. Stalking. Whatever you want to call it.
He's deluded himself into thinking she loves him, thinking that she's asking him to take her away. Clearly, the fact that she hides from him doesn't deter him.
Also, it seems strange that she would write specifically that the love letters are written in red, and the only possible explanation I can think of is that he's using his own blood to write them.
I know it was 2 yrs ago but agree mostly with @rawkgalore. I think the narrorator is talking about a sort of possessive love this man feels for his new neighbor. I think he is not necessarily stalking her but she caught his eye. Watching her he sees the same loneliness in her that he has and he wants her to be with him.
He wants her but she's is not open to love probably because of her past love experiences. He wants to cure her loneliness with his presence but she's just not ready or is unaware of how he feels. So he makes a plan to "not-so-accidentally" run into her with the hopes of conversation and more. He just wants her to fall for him cause even from a distance he's already in love with her.
