The author falls in love with someone other than their partner, but he tells her “ There will be nothing between us, baby
But the air that we breathe
Don't cry”
He speaks of the weight of this secret, and also struggles to hold back “ Sometimes the air between us, babe
Is unbearably thin
Sometimes it's wise to lay down your gloves
And just give in”
I think this song is about forbidden love that is bitter-sweet and hard to grasp.
