its about being in a long term relationship, but being tempted by a new boy and feeling guilty because you love the one you're with. shes asking him questions
"I'm not the sort of person who falls in and quickly out of love
But to you, I give my affection, right from the start.
I have a lover who loves me - how could I break such a heart?
Yet still you get my attention."
meaning i'm not normally the sort of person who 'window shops' other guys, but to this one i was drawn to from the start. i'm feeling guilty because i;m in a relationship, but still i cant take my mind off you.
"Why do you come here, when you know I've got troubles enough?
Why do you call me, when you know I can't answer the phone?
And make me lie when I don't want to,
And make someone else some kind of an unknowing fool?
Make me stay when I should not?
If you're so strong then resolve the weakness in me.
Why do you come here, and pretend to be just passing by?
I need to see you - I need to hold you - tightly."
shes trying to blanme him for making her like hjim back bbecause he calls her etc etc, but the lat line shows this is all her trying to deny it to herself because deep down she needs to have him.
"Feeling guilty,
And I'm worried, and I'm waking from a tormented sleep
'Cause this old love, you know it has me bound,
But this new love cuts so deep.
If I choose now, I'm bound to lose out;
One of you is gonna have to fall...
I need you, baby."
meaning its worrying her and she can;t get it off her mind, she has been in love with her boyfriend for a long time, but this new lust is powerful. she knows she cannot go on like this, and has to choose between them, and the final line i think shows how something new and dangerous andexciting can be so tempting, rather than something old and reliable.
basically, its a take of love and lust, and how despite being in love and loved back, sometimes lust can be incredibly over powering, its something to do with the new ex itement of it. (i read somehwere its just a natural thing, its the way we are made!)
this song means a lot to me because i was sent it by a boy.... and i was the new thing. a year on i still love him even though we knew nothing could happen.
