And states that the title means waves and is a metaphor for tears...
I would say it's about trying to get over someone:
'You will not burn me up
though I've dreamed nightly of your face
and walked the streets of my life
with your singing in my silent brain
you cannot burn me up
i'm a fallen leaf who keeps her green'
Great song!

That verse would suggest it anyway...
