I think its about a guy and girl who have feelings for eachother and they are intimate but aren't really open with their feelings for eachother.

I�ve been the needle and the thread Weaving figure eights and circles round your head I try to laugh but cry instead Patiently wait to hear the words you�ve never said

She can't figure him out because they have been playing games with eachother the whole time, trying to keep it light even though they both really like each other. He is waiting to hear her say she cares for him, but she doesnt because she has no clue what is going on in his head and hes not really letting her know.

Fumbling through your dresser door forgot what I was looking for Try to guide me in the right direction Making use of all this time Keeping everything inside Close my eyes and listen to you cry

talking about her dresser drawer just makes it obvious that they are intimate. He is going through her things for some reason or another...seems like hes looking in her stuff to see who she really is. They had kept things light and airy, a fling, because she had already planned on leaving before they even met (whether it was a job opportunity or something else). They both realize they love each other but the relationship has started at such an awkward time for both of them.

I�m lifting you up I�m letting you down I�m dancing til dawn I�m fooling around I�m not giving up I�m making your love This city�s made us crazy and we must get out

He is making the best of their time together. He wants it to be the best it can be, bittersweet. he says hes letting her down because he won't be completely open with her about how he feels. he wants her to make the decision to stay on her own. He would go with her if he could but its not his decision to make

This not goodbye she said It is just time for me to rest my head She does not walk she runs instead Down these jagged streets and into my bed

She is trying to figure out what she wants. If her career or elsewise is more important than this unexpected love. She leaves, but comes back....running. Realizing being with him is more important.

Fumbling through your dresser door forgot what I was looking for Try to guide me in the right direction Making use of all this time Keeping everything inside Close my eyes and listen to you cry

same as before

I�m lifting you up I�m letting you down I�m dancing til dawn I�m fooling around I�m not giving up I�m making your love This city�s made us crazy and we must get out

same

There�s only so much I can do for you After all of the things you put me through

He is surprised that she decided to leave him and it really threw him for a loop. He is afraid now that she is back because they went through this whirl wind of feelings and doesnt want to go through it again. he hopes she is there for good.
