To me this song is partially about the beauty of Spring coming alive. I know that feeling living in Seattle, as I imagine Robin does.
Also, this Yeats poem might help understanding this song:
The Ragged Wood by William Butler Yeats
O hurry where by water among the trees
The delicate-stepping stag and his lady sigh,
When they have but looked upon their images -
Would none had ever loved but you and I!
Or have you heard that sliding silver-shoed
Pale silver-proud queen-woman of the sky,
When the sun looked out of his golden hood? -
O that none ever loved but you and I!
O hurty to the ragged wood, for there
I will drive all those lovers out and cry -
O my share of the world, O yellow hair!
No one has ever loved but you and I.
Hi, I live in Galway, Ireland, and there's an ancient wood called Coole park where W.B. Yeats used to stay as a guest of his friend Lady Gregory. The woods and it's lake were an inspiration for Yeats so his poem Ragged wood may well be about coole. When I first heard this song it reminded me of these woods.
His initials among other writers and poets can still be seen carved into an old beech tree in the park.
This song also reminds me of Wouldn't it be nice by the beach boys. Its got the same theme of a hope...

" Lie to me if you will" I think he means, tell me you still love me even if it's a lie.
I agree with EldaAnzari so I changed the lyrics.
