I personally think that this song is about a sensitive guy who’s fallen in love with a girl, but given his history with relationships, he’s afraid of getting hurt again. Therefore he’s telling this girl not to play with his feelings ‘cause he can’t take it anymore “I could live, I could die - hanging on the words you say”.
He wants to be sure that this is gonna be a real thing before “I dive right into you”
Anybody can relate to this song, which is why it’s so strong emotionally.
“People want to see musicians sing things that come from their own mind and own heart in real time, responding to the moment for them.” - John Mayer
