First of all, the acoustic version was on the CD Go For The Jugular which was released in 02 before Sunsets and Car Crashes.
The one on Sunsets is including a full band, but at the time Sunsets was recorded Nick was still the only "official" person in the band. One Fell Swoop was the first cd they recorded as an actual band, with Nick, Dan, Joe, and former bassist Scott. Now Landon is with them.
Anyways, this is a song about young love, how he is in love with her, and he hopes its true love and not just a fling. He feels that he is only truly himself when he is with her. And he feels that laying in bed with her is all he needs, she is the only necessity in life.
My guess on the water line that nobody really seems to have an answer for...
Nick almost always has metaphors in his song, this probably is a metaphor...my guess is he is comparing love to water...water is tasteless (unless you count flavored water, but bear with me), so its impossible to taste water, right? Well, he feels that love is like water, impossible to taste...but he feels as if he is on the verge of being able to taste it as its standing there right before him. Make sense?
