to me this song is about a one-night stand... maybe more. anyway it's another she-told-me-things-she-didn't-mean heartbreak kinda song. everybody's been there, you go out with the girl, feelings are sky-high at the start, but in the end you realize she did nothing more than led you on.("you tell me with a whisper of things that'll never be) "wake me when the daybreaks... show me how the sun shines," spent the night together but things that seemed so true last night mean a little less in the morning (when the booze wears off?) "tell me bout ur heartaches, who could be so unkind?" here chris shows he truly wants her to be happy/help her through her problems, but the feeling's not returned, "do you dream to touch me(also), or could ya just kill me?" that's mah' take on it, but maybe it's just cuz that's a road i've walked so damn many times
