god, i loooove this song. it's meaning is blurry but it doesnt matter because it has so much emotion.
in the lyrics i feel like it says:
"Everybody else, looks at my baby
Then they wanna know her name"
instead of "then they wandered over to me"
from my point of view, i see it as one girl who is totally infatuated with this other mysterious, beautiful girl when she sees her walking home alone. not infatuated like love, just obsession and wanting. but the first girl knows that the mysterious baby is not hers, that she belongs to someone else and that she wont ever get to truly know her. but the baby is 'like lighting', once shes struck, the girl wont ever be the same. i think the song embodies awe, beauty and maybe even a hint of jealousy for someone you really want but will never have or be.
this song is so inspiring to me, im writing a short story based on it's lyrics.
