Such a simple song lyrically, but so utterly compelling and heartbreaking.
My take on this song is that it's about a relationship after the first wave of connection and excitement has subsided, perhaps reaching the dreaded seventh year when many couples break apart, and the speaker is insisting he is still the one for her. Yes, he is no longer soaring, they are no longer lions or kings, but he will still love her better than the new person she is considering. It's the plea of the steadfast as opposed to the shiny new thing.
