think he's singing about someone he loves, someone who was with someone he knew, or was abusive, or something...and he's been waiting for them to break up so patiently, he has loved her for a long time...hands frozen in his pockets. also "Plant your heels into the ground. If you could grow roots down, you'd be a tree by now.", i think this is referring to how long the two have been together, and he wants to be the voice of reason, he wants them to break up but she wont listen. the man she fell for fell apart, and since he fell apart he wants her more than ever..
Let me hear your voice, my one and only.
Let me see your face. Our love: like breathing.
Carry me away. I'm yours completely.
Hide me in your arms. I dont deserve it."
...but that last line makes it seem like maybe he was in part responsible/guilty (or just feels that way) for the break up, however it happened.
