i get an inkling that what the person in the song wants is a girl. this girl is might be going through some kind of trauma, & she is acting unlike her normal self because of it. she's in so much pain that she is hurting emotionally him too. but as much pain as she's put him through, he's willing to stick by her through this 'rough patch', because he cares about her that much.
the stanza beginning 'your hands upon me..' may be the girl's sway/control over him, or her self-destructive thoughts. or maybe it's about their physical relationship: they've come close to having sex, but for some reason she stops herself..(maybe she was sexually abused?.. maybe looking too much into it.)
in the last few stanzas, he might have said or done something in the heat of the moment that hurt her, & she's finally cracked, & he's trying to plead with her to stay. it seems this girl has little or no hope (for their relationship, or her exsistance), & he is the one always (trying to) picking her up again.
what is he waiting for? possibly for the girl to return to her normal self...so the relationship can prosper.
really love this song. TBE be rad.
this song builds wonderfully..
