This song means a lot to me right now, and sums up a relationship I have with a friend. For me the song is pretty simple; guy fancies a girl, but he's lost her and he wants her to come back to him again.
Here's how the song is for me:
In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn't change
(I'm married, he's in a relationship)
I was lost, oh yeah
I was lost, I was lost
Crossed lines I shouldn't have crossed
(We've touched each other in a non-sexual way, but we both knew where we were going with it. We've hugged and haven't let go after we've had long conversations with each other. We've grabbed hands for a second when no one was looking. We're not supposed to cross those lines as friends.)
I was lost, oh yeah
Yeah how long must you wait for it?
Yeah how long must you pay for it?
Yeah how long must you wait for it?
Oh for it
(We know we can't go there with each other because of our situations. I don't know what happened with him. I haven't looked at another man in 15 years, and I knew this guy for over a year before everything hit me like a ton of bricks in the face. I realized for a while he's been trying to get my attention and I never paid attention.)
I was scared, I was scared
Tired and under prepared
(I was scared after the realization hit me. I was in a fog for 2 weeks after. I started to doubt everything I knew up to that point. He turned the world I knew completely around and made it spin backwards. He knew it, too. We could be in a crowd and it would only be us talking to each other.)
But I wait for it
(Every day I would wait for him to show up.)
If you go, if you go
Leave me down here on my own
Then I'll wait for you (yeah)
(He moved to the night shift. It's easier to get over if you don't see him every day.)
Sing it, please, please, please
Come back and sing to me, to me, me
Come on and sing it out, now, now
Come on and sing it out, to me, me
Come back and sing it
(This part is really personal for me. He acts like a big kid around everyone. But he would sing to me every day when he came in. This part is me asking him to come back and sing to me like he use to. I think this is the part I'll miss the most about him. He made me feel like I was 18 again. You can't build a time machine and go back in time, but sometimes someone can take you back there and make you feel young and free again.)
In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn't change
And I was lost, oh yeah, oh yeah
