A soothing delicate tune... This song seems to portray a relationship where the two struggle to remain consistent in their emotions, resulting in communication issues. In the first verse, James seems to be revealing the girl's habit of being content as long as her partner is. He insists that her emotional responses be genuine, rather than "emoting" and "playing the fool."

It's a prime example of one losing themselves in another and how this affects the two as individuals trapped in weighing the highs and lows of the relationship.
