I know that' I'm not a fool

Tied here to the mast
Describing the daily emotional tightness or pressure around the heart.
And every single day
Continuing the portrayal of emotional confinement and struggle.
Tight around my heart
Expressing a sense of despair or helplessness in breaking free.
No hope of cutting loose

Then he sings to me

So soft and sweet

His wheels go spinning round

A hundred miles at least
Describing a significant distance or emotional journey covered by the partner.
Torn, the petals drop

He picks them one by one

Testing out our love
