This song speaks to the need for healing in a relationship. Dido uses the biblical story of the woman with the "issue of blood" who has been lonely for many years when she comes to Jesus and says that if she could but touch the hem of his garment she would be free and healed from that which keeps her an outcast. She comes without pride and is past her anger over the curse of her desease, she believes and is healed. The writer wants to let go of her pride because now it is beginning to rob her, she realizes that it is a double edged sword. She also talks about letting love rule and designates anger as a tool for a clown or fool. I like this song...it's hopeful.
