So as I was sitting here listening to the song and reading the lyrics over and over again, I thought about a few things that could be related but I can't decide were they are connected. The "quiet kid, and the little king" are some kind of shy childlike character (maybe the writer or someone else). The chorus on the other hand I have a pretty good idea about. To me they are about someone that he (the writer) can't tell to much to, because they get worried easily and he has to "keep them in the dark". Perhaps this is person is the same as the childlike character from the verses. That's all I have for now though, I hope someone will comment and help me piece it together.
