Sweetest Thing Lyrics

Okay - so I don't think that all of this song is about her not loving him as much as he loves her. When I first heard it I thought about a woman who makes a man work for her love. She makes him crawl before running, letting their relationship mature and deepen before going head over heels and keeping him together (catching him when he falls, etc).

A good love requires hard work and can be stormy - it survives the rain and the thunder but the pair see the blue skies up ahead. The man in this song is definitely the weaker of the 2, but the woman encourages him to strengthen himself. I really like it!

Just my opinion...
