I love this song so much...It's has such a great sound to it and really amazing lyrics. I think it's the story of the prodigal son applied to a love relationship, though I suppose it could just be intended as any kind of relationship. I listened to it as a love song personally, and I think that's a brilliant idea, to superimpose that story onto one about love. He leaves, takes everything, and she waits for him, she'll "take anything" from, because she loves him. And he eventually comes back, because he needs her. Really fantastic song.
