Such a powerful and poetic song. For me, it's always been about a woman struggling with substance abuse or mental illness and the man who loves her. "Your life is one long emergency..." "I've broken all your windows and I've rammed through all your doors…" He's expressing what a struggle it is to be in her life. But he comes for her, he sees himself as her knight, her savior. He's hopelessly in love regardless what she puts him through. He knows the key to her salvation is in her own heart, her desire to turn the page on all the drama and walls she erects around her.
