I think comment #1 is kind of on the right track but to elaborate a bit further, I believe this is someone she has had history with and deeply cares about. There's a good possibility she's writing about her relationship with Bassist, Lee Alexander. They actually end up breaking up sometime within the next year. I think the message of the song is she saying lets wipe away the haze from the days of the past. Mistakes were made on both side but she wants a new start and is praying for him to slow down his words and telling him positive things about how it used to be, hoping maybe he'll realize what's really important and that whatever bickering, arguing or other issues they've had in the past have become somewhat meaningless, pointless and insignificant. So, let's get back to what made us happy in the beginning which is really whats important! So, please don't leave, be with me tonight and lets try and find what we once had between us!
