It's about a woman who is getting older and regrets the way she spent her early years. She is lonely and looking possibly for God "still searching for salvation's light", or maybe just someone she can love and spend time with "but i'm feeling quite weak, will you comfort and forgive me". Collective Soul lyrics speak often of faith and God so it wouldn't surprise me if this is what the song is about.
