Lyrics
She was the girl, who finally came along
Describing a significant person who entered the speaker's life
into my life, and became a mystery
Highlighting the person's mysterious nature
Can you be real enough so I can hold your hand
Expressing a desire for authenticity in the relationship
Hold you tight, close my eyes and everything will be alright
Seeking comfort and reassurance through physical closeness
I'm as weak and fragile as can be
Acknowledging personal vulnerability
Don't lead me on, come on you know you do
Cautioning against leading the speaker on
Escape all that you're afraid to be, run away with me tonight
Encouraging the person to escape fears and run away together
And I know it's hard
Acknowledging the challenges in the relationship
Yes I know you cry sometimes
Acknowledging the person's emotional struggles
But I'll be here by your side as the leaves
Commitment to supporting the person through difficulties
And I'll hold your hand through the pain, as the leaves fall, tonight
Symbolic connection between holding hands and facing pain
She was a girl, who this morning left alone
Describing the person's departure from the speaker's life
Out of my life as she had come
Reflecting on the person's brief presence
Can you breathe me in as fast as I can breathe you out
Expressing a desire for reciprocal emotional connection
Look in my eyes and realize
Seeking mutual understanding through eye contact
That everything will be alright
Belief that everything will be alright
Yeah, no perfect word no melody
Emphasizing the inadequacy of words and melodies
Can sing all that you mean to me
Expressing difficulty in capturing the depth of feelings
If you give me the opportunity
Requesting an opportunity to connect on a deeper level
make your heart real and cry out for me
Inviting emotional expression and vulnerability
I'll take you away form this world for one second in time
Offering to temporarily escape the challenges of reality
And I know it's hard
Reiterating awareness of the relationship's difficulties
Yes I know you cry sometimes
Recognizing and addressing the person's emotional pain
But I'll be here by your side as the leaves
Commitment to providing support through challenges
And I'll hold your hand through the pain, as the leaves fall tonight
Symbolic connection between holding hands and facing pain (repeated)
I know it's hard
Reaffirming awareness of the relationship's challenges (repeated)
And I Know it hurts you
Acknowledging and empathizing with the person's pain
I know you cry sometimes
Reiterating recognition of the person's tears
And I know you miss her all the time
Acknowledging constant thoughts about a missing person
