i love ivy. this is one of my favourites off their new album.
often i find their lyrics not so easy to interpret.
from what i understand, the singer is 'tess.' she's in a relationship with a boyfriend who is very private, has his own inner demons and while he depends on, he doesn't show it easily.
she has questions that she wants to pose to him. she has issues that she wants to discuss. but he "keeps their secrets close".
and there is also a sense of irony that if she leaves, only then will she discover that in fact she is the most important person to him.
in some ways the refrain is the singer telling tess to stay. a little secret "not for anybody else" to help her along, to let her know that she should stay.
it's about how she struggles to stay in a relationship, and how hard it can be to have faith in what can often appear to be a one-sided relationship.
