this song is so beautiful, I feel her pain. To me this song is about a girl being used by a boy. she cant even call him her lover because in reality shes just the girl that was there filling up space, just a one time use. she is naive and she fell in love.he killed her [well her heart] [opinion] in the first verse. it says to me that this boy she was captivated by him, he took her from everything and she would have done everything for him [sexually]but shes scared that this boy with such and innocent and common name/face is really a snarly sly boy that will tear her apart. chorus. "to blw out all the candles" could be a reference to just go for it, to just have sex with him. youre old, no need for all of the formalities.so she stays the night.she might be old but shes naive and easily trust people.so she listened to her heart when she should have listened to her mind.shes wide-eyed staring at him and wide-eyed knowing that she just let him kill her heart. second. this is when she regrets it. in reality shes fragile, she figured out that her dreams of him and her being together are torched, but she cant speak up for that dream, she cant say that she wanted him to be with her, so her thoughts&dreams are kept a secret from him.she cant reverse it so she must learn from him. chorus.same. third.shell never be his lover, she was just there for a moment, heat of the moment. she was company for him. just my opinion.. i think this song is marvelous though
