I feel like this song is about the inner turmoil you feel when you really want someone, but you know that person will hurt you. You try to convince yourself that person doesn't have the same effect on you as they used to. Still the tension is there - "the separation kills us so" - and its almost paralyzing - "feels like being tranqualized." Its about being addicted to a person... That person who is always in the back of your mind... That overwhelming physical attraction to someone you know is terrible for you. You both want each other, but you know that it won't work out. Maybe you always wonder what might have been if the circumstances had been different.
It reminds me of the old saying: Sometimes love just isn't enough; or the Led Zeppelin song "Ten Years Gone" about lovers who have just got the timing wrong. It sounds like he's in denial about the effect this person has on him (as evidenced by the abrupt "No!"), but still he longs for her to hold him/ control him like before when things were good/ less complicated. Both people know that the sexual tension is there, but they're trying to control themselves when really they both just want to "lose control." Maybe each person is just waiting for a situation (getting really drunk haha) where the other person will cave... But that's just my take :)
I love love love this song! I feel like it perfectly captures the tension between ill-fated lovers!
Wow yeah definitely.... that's exactly the situation I'm in except for the getting hurt part... but the whole denying of feelings hurts in itself I guess. But yeah, that's a perfect meaning for this song. I love love love this song too!

I will agree with you, It's sorta happing to me know.
After a mutuel break up 14 years ago, I moved back to my home town only to be found on FB by the same guy. We did meet over some Starbucks & that's when he told me was married to the wrong person.....so yeah, this song has Gabe all over it..lol

mcpooch7 you are SO right on!
I just looked up the lyrics to this song on here because my friend just posted it...
And it's Romeo and Juliet in song, an ill-fated lover wrestling with the fact that it simply cannot be and trying to find the balance between that turmoil, the feelings that are left and the reality of it all.
The friend that posted this song was my ill-fated lover...in fact, I might go so far to say he was the love of my life. It was almost comforting to know he is wrestling with the same feelings I am. I've...

I've never met someone who understood me on the level that he did, that I connected so deeply with...but being with him would blatantly take me out of the will of God for my life as we have some irreconcilable differences in faith...and it kills me...this song is my heart's cry right now.
Thanks for your interp, it literally brought me to tears.
