This song seems to be about a relationship (friendship or otherwise) 15 year old boy and girl/woman. "As time goes by
And when you've seen what she's seen... you will", makes me think that this is either an older woman or a girl who has had to grown up faster and wiser beyond her years. This song is a bit sad as the boy is in love with this woman, but she doesn't seem to reciprocate his feelings back. Also, the lyrics: "She wants to see with your eyes
She wants to smile with your smile" make me think that this older woman (or girl that is old beyond her years) wants to feel the innocence that this 15 year old boy has. That's all that she is wishing for; to see with his eyes, to smile with his smile. He wants to make her feel better, but he doesn't quite understand her predicament with the situation, and how to feel exactly, since the boy is younger (or at least, more immature).
You all have it backwards.
Depeche Mode wrote this song to a girl who commited suicide. The only thing she lived for was Depeche Mode. She was a big fan of Depeche.
Her mother wrote a letter to Depeche Mode and told them that they were the only thing she lived for and then Martin wrote a song about her.
