We lost a lot in that hurricane, again till everything came back again... (We, we lost it all again)
Particularly topical right now, it reminds me of a disaster, or at least metaphorically speaking, losing these important aspects of your life (maybe a person, maybe your home, your lover) only to have them come back (or think they have) just to lose everything over again. The PAIN that you feel over losing something twice, especially in that aching sense of relief when you feel you have got them back again...it just reduces you to tears.
(a whole lot of different voices break, and come in and out towards the end of this song, it shouldn't work but it does, and it's beautiful...)
You were the best lover I never loved,
Regretting. This could mean they never even loved the person, or never had TIME or opportunity, everything just went too fast. It seems that they wanted too, or they felt they could, just didn't.
I guess I'm scared to wake up next to her
or maybe I'm too scared to ever fall asleep.
Again, this could be losing someone all over again, waking up realising it was all a dream, some sick deluded nightmare, or even the moment of realisation when you have really fucked up. The moment after you have done something, knowing it was wrong but doing it anyway, and then it REALLY hits you, and everything feels ridiculously sick.
We'll never tell a soul that we kissed.
(Horrible, sad, fucking beautiful line.)
