The song was inspired by the mothers of the three band mates - all blonde, hence the collective term "sister golden hair". The meaning is obvious, a man unable to commit but realizes he cannot live without the woman he was unable to commit himself to - his message to her is he still loves her in spite of this and now he is seeking it all out. Will she meet him in the middle etc. - he now is not afraid to admit that he can't live without her but will she allow him the chance.
