First of all, let it be know that I would "do" Ben Harper in a heartbeat. I know I am not alone.

I think this song is having to do with someone who has "good energy". This is a quality that radiates from within- just like a face is a "window to the soul". It is entirely evident when someone feels happy and good about life and herself. Diamonds on the inside means that she is "sparkling" and can't hide the fact that she loves life and people. She made herself "a bed of nails" and she put it to use. She was willing to hurt herself to let someone know how much she cared about them. She put herself through pain in order to let him be aware of her love FOR HIM. Isn't that beautiful?

I love this song.
