I always interpreted this song a bit different. Reading other peoples meanings seem to make more sense, but originally I thought this was about someone who wouldn't show their true feelings (not necessarily love) but the other person 'wanted it all', when he/she finally 'gives something more' the other person can't handle it & they fade away.

The start of the song is like the story being told as if it's already happened, either as a witness or it happening as there former self (almost 3rd person). My only explination for verses is the closed off person is almost dreading letting their true self shine, they know it will happen & it's being pushed out, finally in the last chorus they everything explode & everything happens just as they thought.

Maybe I'm just trying to fit a meaning around my original interpratation, it's a great song anyway :)

Oh and I really love the rolling guitar in the last chorus :D
