It shows how no matter how strongly we feel towards another human being, the only love that can ever be truely fufilled is the loving relationship we seek to establish with God.
In the song, he put too much faith into this relationship with this girl, he tried to make her into some sort of supernatural figure who could always be there for him whenever he needed anything...
No human being can fit that mold though, the only one who can is God.
This isn't a beautiful song of love! Look at the last verse!
Wonder if she knows
The way I saw her soul
Light up my life
Wonder if she knows
of the PAIN I feel tonight
He feels pain, not love! It's a song of rejection, the guy was rejeted by the girl because he wanted this super intense relationship and that is obviously not what she was looking for... it shows us that we can't put our faith in individuals unless that individual is God.
Okay, maybe some people don't see the whole God reference in this because the words "Him", "You", "Lord" or "God" aren't in the song... but you have to look deeper then individual words (love, eyes, light up life), you have to look at the ENTIRE song and you have to think about what it is saying to find a meaning for a song.
