In response to the above, I don't think she was too demanding at all. Maybe the guy THINKS she's too demanding, but in reality I think he's the one who is making things overly complicated.
"You're giving me too many things" - he's showering her with presents, but all she wants is to be with him. "Don't get me wrong, I love you, but does that mean I have to meet your father?" She's just enjoying being with him, but he's already worrying about things like meeting her dad instead of enjoying her company too. In his mind, you meet someone, you pursue a relationship, you meet their parents and then marriage, but as she says life isn't that simple. But because she doesn't want presents and she's not worrying about him meeting her dad, he doesn't know how to prove his love for her. He thinks she's being demanding and that she wants him to walk on water, but that's not it. But in asking her these questions, he's not really proving his love for her at all, just worrying, so she says "it's enough when I say so."
"Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before "
Again, she's not worried about what's in store for them later (whereas he probably is.) She's just happy in the moment and wants to be held.
That's a insightful meaning you gave there and I like how you interpreted it. I also have the same thoughts as you- perhaps the guy is trying to make their relationship or is questioning how serious it is? Or maybe she's not ready for that next, huge step, integrating their lives together?? this song gives me mixed emotions -.-
