A song about falling in love. Contrary to appearing cheesy, it seems to characterise the discomforting tendencies of living with being in love.
There are instances where the reliance of the lover giving the 'fix' is reminiscent of an addiction. A 'bed of splinters' - like a withdrawal symptom; 'closed fown for winter' - isolation, no one knows how it feels; 'the more you get, the more you want' - greed and desire; 'standing high on tiptoes looking over fences' - waiting for the next fix; 'I want to jump deep into tides of loving madness' - wanting to experience the euphoria again.
It sounds happy in melodic terms, but in lyrical structure it seems to characterise love as something less joyous and more torturous. A fascinating combination.
