First off, I'd like to say that this a really good song. Full of emotion. I enjoy listening to it. I like how the singer goes from a calm, placid voice, to all out yelling. This puts emphasis on emotions, since clearly this song is full of emotion. I love the way this song uses the acoustic guitar, just awesome!
I know a lot of people are talking about the "Free Hugs" thing and all, but I believe the song can be interpreted in a different way. I sense that it can applied to a relationship that a guy went through where the girl ended it, but still had feelings for the guy. The guy is still torn up over her and she may have started seeing other guys and that hurts this first guy I spoke of. Then when the relationships this girl has with these other guys goes sour, she comes "running with scarred heart out in hand" back to this guy.
This guy hopes she will stay with him this time, but she doesn't, almost like she goes to him for emotional stability and recovery (almost like a rebound), then they may have another argument or disagreement and she leaves again, and goes onto another guy. The guy is still hurt over this and feels angry and used, but also feels like he can't move on from her, because he feels like if she would just give him a chance, they would be great together, despite their differences and past. However, the girl won't and the guy feels down, waiting to hear from her again ("hours slide and days go by til you decide to come").
Now that's just my opinion and I am not saying all women are like that. It's just a simple explanation and that's what I relate the song to.
