I absolutely love this song! Norah Jones is just amazing!
"She's 22
And loving you
And you'll never know how it makes me blue"
That section is talking about, how a woman loves this other woman's lover and it makes her feel sad that she is all over him.
"Does it make you happy?"
She questions if he is actually happy with this girl loving him.
"I'm holding on
To a thing that's wrong
And we don't belong"
It's meaning she hasn't given up on loving this guy and she holding onto that hope. But that hope is wrong because they don't belong.
"But you like my songs"
I think that means, but I am not sure really, that he likes her presence, he likes it when she hangs in the background, like her songs.
"And you make me happy,
Does she make you hapy?"
She says how he makes her happy and once again, questions if the girl makes him happy.
"You can throw away
Every word I say"
This can mean that she knows and accepts that he doesn't want to take in what she says. She knows what she will say, he will not listen.
"I'm standing still
On this hidden hill
And i'm looking around
For the right way down
To your distant valley"
When she says she is on a hidden hill, she means she is hidden from the guy, he can't see her. She is hidden. She is trying to find her way into him, and work out those distant feelings. How does he really feel for her or the girl?
"Your flowers grow in the frozen snow
And I'd like to know if it's all a show
'Cause you sure look happy
Are you really happy?"
She is surprised at how suddenly he is happy. His happiness has bloomed when he was supposed to be sad at this time, maybe after the girl singing and him broke up. She wonders if this whole thing is just a show, to make her feel jealous, or make him look like he has moved on and doesn't need her. And she asks if he really is happy with this girl and how everything is.
And the rest of the songs lines are lines from earlier that I already looked at. This is my interpretation of it, sorry if you don't think it's right, it was a first shot. :)
