I really love this one. espcially the slowed down acoustic version. My take on it would be that its sung from the point of view of a girl, who has feelings for someone , who has kept his innocence and naivity, where as the protaganist has been conditioned in the ways of the world. its a mismatch entirely, but they both feel for each other, and cant help the enevitable, that getting together would equate to him (and even herself) getting hurt oh very so.. love it
