This is a very moving song about talking to someone who is mortally wounded in order to keep them alive. The story is of someone who has most probably been shot or stabbed in the street. People are gathered around helping, making phone calls, comforting. It is obvious the victim has been shot or stabbed as the colour of the victims shirt darkens with their own blood against their skin, paling through loss of the same blood. There is desperate realisation when the singer is ‘drawn in’ to the situation as he recognises this is a person he knows
