About a person who you can never quite wrap your mind around, because you never know what will be said or done. It gets to a point where you try to shut the person out... but he always creeps back in. She's surprised and a little scared at the realization that she'd go through hell and high water for this person, she'd give up everything for him... and while she's hopeful things are getting better, there's always this voice in the back of her mind reminding her that he's always hurt and let her down in the past.
"You said 'we'll see,'"
Sums up the song pretty well. The person never committed to things, always put things off until later...so all she can do is hope that this time, things really go the way he says they will.
I love the ending, with all the book references and everything, and I always related a lot to this part:
"And here in the foyer, the hallway is small
I don't really think it's a hallway at all
It's a maze..."
It always reminds me of those times in life where it feels like I'm going somewhere, but when I stand back and look at it, I realize all it was doing was leading me away from what is really important. A circle of nothing. When I realize that, I'm free. It's a very hopeful song... resigned to reality but hopeful about what is possible.
