For me this song tells a story of a man who finally gets the courage to make a first step and express his feelings to a person who he fell for.
It is so hard to put your defences down, to uncover you true self for her to see and act as if there were no tomorrow, as there were “no second chances”. But nevertheless he does that and passes her to a test. He kisses her- or if you wish- he hangs on his lover’s breath (beautiful metaphor, isn’t it?). It is truly a test, because he is still uncertain whether his expectations would meet reality, or will she reject him. But the magical moment lasts and later that night their clothes fall to the floor as the reality starts to get softer and softer.
This is a truly moving description of sex and love. First you have to “give up this fight” and expose yourself to a possibility of being hurt, you have to stop controlling yourself and only then the real intimacy can happen.
…Wow, this is hard to believe, but this song made me realize that I don’t have to hold such hatred to a girl who hurt me once so deeply. Because despite how it have ended there were some very precious moments as well. Love requires us to bond to one another, but when you put shackles to your lover you hurt both of you. Sometimes you have to give up a fight and just let her go.
Wonderful song!
