I’ve always thought this was a sweet song, but it was a little confusing until I filled in the gaps for what I think is the story here.
The girl is obviously a good friend this guy never gets to see, but it seems that now she might be on the run in some kind of trouble and has asked to stay with him. She feels bad because he’s taking on a lot of risk by harboring her and he’s poor (afraid of what it costs to buy her roses), so she says she’ll pay for everything and buy him stuff to hopefully make things easier if he’ll let her stay with him. He doesn’t care about any of that (or her screaming nightmares) and just wishes she could be in love with him.
Even if things are looking grim for them in that scenario, I have a strong feeling they will have a happy ending. :)
