Aside from the lovers part of this song, it reminds me a lot of my best friend and I. Recently we've grown apart, on account of many things, but one of them is that they have feelings for me that I do not reciprocate.
"I want 'em back (I want 'em back)
The minds we had (the minds we had)
It's not enough to feel the lack
I want 'em back, I want 'em back, I want 'em"
This passage makes me think of how you want your old friend back, the old times and how you used to interact with each other.
"You're the only friend I need
Sharing beds like little kids
Laughing 'til our ribs get tough
But that will never be enough"
Often I felt as if my friend was the only one I had, and the only one I needed, as I'd shared a lot, more than I have with anyone else, with this person.
During summer when we'd have sleepovers we'd share a bed, like little kids.
We would laugh at stupid things, our hearts filled.
And yet, that will never be enough, for them. And therefore, friendship ends, and it hurts, and all you want is those days back.
She wants it back, the times they had, the thoughts they both thought. They're both getting older, and drifting apart.
Through the warmthest
Cord of care
Your love was sent to me
Through the warmthest
Cord of care
Your love was sent to me
I'm not sure
What to do with it
Or where to put it
I'm not sure
What to do with it
Or where to put it
I'm so close to tears
And so close to
Simply calling you up
I'm simply suggesting
I'm so close to tears
And so close to
Simply calling you up
I'm simply suggesting
We go to the hidden place
That we go to the hidden place
We go to the hidden place
We go to a hidden place
We go to the hidden place
That we go to the hidden place
We go to the hidden place
We go to a hidden place
Now I have
Been slightly shy
And I can smell a pinch of hope
To almost have allowed...
Now I have
Been slightly shy
And I can smell a pinch of hope
To almost have allowed once fingers
To stroke
The fingers I was given to touch with
But careful, careful
There lies my passion, hidden
There lies my love
I'll hide it under a blanket
Lull it to sleep
I'll keep it in a hidden place
I'll keep it in a hidden place
Keep it in a hidden place
Keep it in a hidden place
He's the beautifullest
Fragilest
Still strong
Dark and divine
And the littleness of his movements
Hides himself
He invents a charm that makes him invisible
Hides in the air
Can I hide there too?
Hide in the air of him
Seek solace
Sanctuary
In the hidden place
In a hidden place
In a hidden place
We'll stay in a hidden place
Ooohh in a hidden place
We'll live in a hidden place
We'll be in a hidden place
In a hidden place
I agree. I cant listen to this song without think of my old best friend. We were friends for 6 years since we were 13-14. But recently we grew apart and things werent the same. All it took was some misunderstandings and she decided cut me from her life. So I really relate to the part:
"I want 'em back (I want 'em back)
The minds we had (the minds we had)
It's not enough to feel the lack
I want 'em back, I want 'em back, I want 'em"

I read your comments ( + Bravado). Very touching.

But alas sometimes you just have to move on.

@Wanderer72125 I understand the same thing. I would go as far as to say this song could be about the fear of sex (which comes along adulthood).
