I think that this song is about a boy who obviously was forced to grow up fast by all the things that he was exposed to at a young age. Those things could have been drugs, alcohol, sex, pain, or all of the above. I'm guessing that he was exposed to so much growing up that it could have dulled his expectations of the world and made him doubt the good in people and the good in himself. He may have developed a strong fear of being hurt scince that's all he ever knew, so he refuses to open himself to those who care for him.
The girl is saying in my eyes that she wishes that she could do something to make him unafraid to feel something for someone.
Play him a song that reminds him of a time when he was a child, so innocent, so open and accepting, a song that would make him wonder why he is so cold now, a song that would help him see that not everyone is out to hurt him.
