I pretty much agree, but i think it has to do with the stage BEFORE the real romantic relationship. That point where you arent sure what the other one is feeling. Should you ask them out should you just keep talking? You think she/he feels the same way about you as you do about them, but they are too afraid to say it. line by line. (I took words out of the lyrics below)
Scratching at the surface
trying hard to work it out
-almost like testing the waters, trying to see how they feel without coming right out and asking
so much has gone misunderstood
and mystery only leads to doubt
-you've thrown hints at her/him to let them know how you feel, but they misunderstand what you wanted to say, so now you aren't sure how they feel and that mystery makes you doubt they feel the way you think they do.
i didn't understand
reach out and take my hand
-reach out to take my hand can be viewed as a metaphor or literally. And its the confusion you face when you see that act. "is she/he a friend, or is this a hint towards the next step"
If you have something to say
say it now
-being fed up with the games basically, wanted them to just tell you how they feel and stop hiding it
cause this is what you waited for
a chance to even up the score
-saying the he/she has had heartbreak in the past, but the person singing is the right match, a chance for them to forget the bad relationships and get into a good one.
and as these shadows fall
i win some how
-notices/realizes that hes had trouble also, hes felt the darkness but hes found some one to help him through, to help him win
cause im picking up the message
closer than ever
-hes seeing the hints thats shes putting down, he feels so close to being in this real relationship
and if you have something to say
-same thing as before
sorry for the lengthy description, just happens to be a song very close to my heart at the moment
