I get an entirely different feel from this song than any of you seem to be getting. I think its in part about a guy and a girl that grow up together and fall in love.
The first verse is about them falling in love and how it is innocent. She "made" love, not in the sexual sense but in the sense that it grew and the hiding of the knees symbolizes the innocence of it. But then she gets caught up in things, maybe the social scene of high school, maybe college and ignores him for a while. But he knows that she loves him and is just wondering whether she'll decide to keep that love "to wear."
The second verse I think comes when they are back together, maybe married. He wants to love her in that ineffable way that some verses together with her feeling of love mean. While her contentments change, he wants her to involve him in that change.
So it's about phases of life and what love looks or feels like at those times. It think this makes sense in part because of the similarity of chords and picking pattern of this song and "Naked as We Came," which is about an enduring love at a very particular time in life.
