This is basically a love song and a very early song of Kate's. It's about a man having two sides and not letting go of his inner child. And it's also about there being a deep understanding in a relationship, mainly because nobody understands the person Kate sings about, and the lines, "Nobody knows about my man . They think he's lost on some horizon." back that up to some extent. The lyrics explain a mutual understanding but at the same time, a secret fear of giving yourself completely to another human being. Simply beautiful.
