When I first listened to this song, I thought it was about a girl waiting for a guy that she was dating to pay attention to her and love her the way she loved him. Now, after a messy divorce between my parents, depression, and a full fledged eating disorder, I realized that might not be what its about. Its definitely about love, but the way I'm interpreting it now is that a little girl is waiting for her neglectful father to pay attention to her. I've been in this situation far too many times before with my dad, and this song hits home for me with the lyrics. I could be misreading this completely, but that's what it means to me.
