You know when you are with someone, either dating or getting close to that stage, and even though you are with the person and may be having a great time, you may still have that paranoia that the person doesn't like you as much as you like them, or they may not see all your cute little idiosyncracies the same way you do.
Sometimes it can be quite a serious neurosis, always self deprecating, especially if you have been in a bad relationship in the past, you sometimes stop yourself from edging forwards into really committing to the person. If it's all new and things are just getting started, it's more difficult to pour out your head and heart so it just makes it more difficult to know what the other person is thinking.
That is what I think this song is about. It comes as such a surprise when your other actually says something otherwise to what you have been thinking. I wasn't sure if the girl I had started seeing liked me, or if she was serious about me, or if she had it in her head already that she wanted to end things (as we sometimes do, but don't know how to) and one night we were lying there talking about each other and how things had happened so fast and she said "I feel like I can only be happy when I'm with you". It really shocked me :)
I wasn't sure what to make of these lines:
sunshine is days away
i won't be saved, i know all the words
i can't say that i'll love you forever
i won't say that i'll love you forever
It does work with my theory above - it is just a 'safety', a way of not taking that full commitment that she tells herself in case things don't work out?
