To me this song is about a potential relationship; the feelings you have when you have a big old crush on someone and you can't see why you shouldn't be together. I adore the lines
"I've been waiting for a break.
How long's it gonna take?
Let me love you."
Just gorgeous and it rings so true; you can imagine being with someone and have a burning desire in your heart but until they "allow" you to love them by reciprocating your feelings, the relationship can't go anywhere or be real. I think everyone knows the frustration of having a fabulous life with someone playing out in your head but in reality they barely know you're alive.
I find this song heartbreaking and adorably charming at the same time. Typical of Joanna Newsom :)
Because I think it's been confirmed that HOOM is more of a narrative, I don't see this as being about a crush. The album seems to detail the dissolution of a relationship, and I see this as being the beginning of the end.
