Magnificent song! I used to be very literal and go to the highest car-park in my city (a very small city with only one big car-park!) and listen to this on my headphones while looking over the edge at the traffic and people on the street. Up there I could quite easily say I was at the top of the city, but Kate's city I think was a huge metropolis, and it is a very satisfying feeling being in the midst of a large city and being up so high just taking in everything.
I see her in this song as someone who's trying to make the man see her as 'the one', but also wishing him to test himself and not give himself up at the first chance of a love affair. Kate's goal is to challenge herself and needs the man to be just as fascinated by the seemingly unreachable. It's like when you see something grand about a fellow human and they maybe don't realise it themselves... Also it's about the dream of being desired and sharing a growing love with somebody who is discovering along with you their true potential.
