To me, this song is about growing up in abuse and being afraid to love and trust people in your adult life as a result of that abuse. Being "gun shy" or so they say, of the possibility that someone could love you with no ill-will or intent to harm. It's about finally de-shackling yourself from that past and deciding it's ok to trust, it's ok to love, and no, you dont have to be alone. It's about two people, lost in this world, far from perfect, coming together to break the cycle of violence they've both been exposed to.
It's a beautiful song for anyone who's been there. An anthem of hope for all those who may be struggling with the scars of an abusive past.
