This song reminds me of so many people in my life, and, sadly, a bit of me.
The woman in the song never seems to fall in love. No one can satisfy that part of herself. She’s too complex, too much for them to understand. Even so, she still longs for a man, even if it is just his touch, which is why she can’t stand by herself or sleep alone. Guys fall for her, long for her, and she takes some of them home. It isn’t for love. She’s satisfying herself, her basic needs. She avoids the beginners, but if she takes one of them home, their eyes are opened to a whole new world. She knows how it’s like to be them…she used to be optimistic about love as well, but experience has taught her otherwise.

Metric = love.
