I think this song is about a guy (possibly the singer, but at least some kind of musician who's on tour) who's not able to be around as much as he or his girlfriend would like. He really loves her passionately, but he can't give up the music to be with her. He's afraid she'll break up with him because he can't be there when he needs her, so maybe she even goes out and does things she shouldn't to feel comforted or just to ignore the situation (I get this from the 'And if you see my girl could you bring her to me?
She don't like a life with a rock n' roll singer, well yeah.'). He really wants to make her happy, and he really wants to be with her, so he hopes that maybe if they're married, if he can show that he's committed to her, then they can stay together and be happy. The possibility that he's losing her is practically driving him insane, he just can't imagine being broken up with her because he loves her that much, and the girl can't see that, because she thinks if he really loved her that he'd stay around more, but he can't because of his music. He wants to give her all the time she needs to make up her mind (hoping she'll accept his marriage proposal) but it's taking her so long that he's just losing it and it looks a lot more bleak.
I think the 'Quiet' part comes from like a silence that's fallen between the two, they don't talk as much as the guy would like to, and that makes him think he's losing her. So whenever the guy is around, he's trying to show her how much she's loved, but she's quiet and losing faith in the relationship. Also, I think that the guy may be quiet as well, because he might be misinterpreting things, thinking if he just gives her space she can make the right choice. Or neither of them want to acknowledge it.
