Almost two years and nobody has commented on this? That's sad, apparently not that many have a taste for Norah Jones' beautiful work.
The meaning? As far as I can tell, it's about a girl who is hiding her love for the guy of her dreams. She's basically hiding herself and her emotions away from the world - keeping them underground in her soul. This girl is trying to gain enough courage to tell this guy what she thinks.
She wants to meet him 'outside, above ground.' She wants to find a place where she can be open about her true thoughts, and let her fears go. 'I see you on your way, I'll be with you someday.' He is in this place she wants to be, where if he shared feelings he'd be also free to say so. She knows she'll eventually get the courage to talk to him, but as for right now she keeps hidden.
This is just how I see the song. Perhaps someone else sees something else in it...?
