I keep going back and forth about whether this is about unrequited love, with two people who long for each other and yet neither expresses their feelings to the other, or about the unspoken thoughts and fears that are not shared between a couple who seem to be in a healthy relationship. Maybe it's both. The repeated "Can you hear me now?" is strange because it doesn't seem like they are trying to speak -- or maybe they are each "speaking" in their own way and longing for the other to "hear" what they are "saying" in this unspoken way.

Beautiful song.
