This song is about a guy who really wants to stay with his girlfriend but she is thinking of breaking up with him or already has. "I dream of lives we could have had before, but the heat has broke down open doorways, friends of yours will tell me more what happens in your mind" He talks to her friends and finds out she has doubts about their relationship. They have drifted so far apart that he has to talk to them to know what's going on with her. "A footnote in your dance of days, in my mind that record still plays, still wonder what fuck it says, hoping there is time" He thinks back to all the hints she has dropped him over the years about the things he needs to change. He's still not sure what he needs to fix, but he hopes she will stay long enough for him to figure that out. "Can we try and take the high road though we don't know where it ends" He wants to take the high road in their relationship and stay together though they aren't sure how their lives will end up. He wants her to take a chance with him. "I want to be your crystal baller, I want to show you how it ends" A crystal baller is a fortune teller. He wants to show her that the future will be good if they stay together. "Can we talk about tomorrow and the promise that it brings, I want to be your crystal baller, I want to show you everything" He keeps telling her things will get better someday and puts everything off until tomorrow. But now he sees that she is getting sick of waiting for him to change and realizes he needs to take action now before she is gone. "I wonder where we're all going, I'm homesick for your primal knowing, I wonder why the wind keeps blowing you through my mind" He doesn't know what is going to happen to them and is longing for reassurance. He can't stop thinking about her. "I want to be your crystal baller, I want to be your diamond ring... the one I never gave you, and the promise that it brings, let me be your crystal baller, I will show you everything" He knows he didn't do enough to make her want to stay with him. He regrets not making her more of a priority and wants to show her that things will be different this time around.

I fell in love with the most beautiful woman I've ever met. She's my soul mate for life. This song helped us stay together through rough times. The part "some get it, some must wait a while" really sticks out to me.

I love you Dawna. I'll always be there for you.
