Can anyone help with the meaning of the song? I know it's probably obvious, but I'm horrible at interpretations!

I'm sensing it's referring to a death of some sort, or maybe getting older (and how our mortality is so much more profound in our minds as we age). However, the first part trips me up with the reference of the "boy" who "loves you so much" and the "will you trust me." One section looks like it's offering reassurance while another seems to ask for reassurance.

Point being, I'd love to hear any other more coherent interpretations!
