Hungry For Love

The speaker longs for a loved one who is away and asks them to come home. At first, the feeling is expressed as a powerful need for affection. The song then reveals sadness, regret, and a wish to repair the relationship: the speaker admits being wrong and says they will not try to change the other person.

The comparisons to a hungry traveler needing food and to the devil and angel pursuing what they seek make the longing seem deep and almost instinctive. “Your letters aren’t enough” means that messages cannot replace the person’s presence and closeness. The repeated image of welcoming the loved one home suggests hope, even after many tears.

The speaker’s apology sounds sincere, but the lyrics give few details about what happened or whether the loved one will return. “I won’t try to change you” may be a promise to accept the other person, though it could also hint that this was a source of conflict before. The song therefore holds both hope and uncertainty: the speaker wants reconciliation, but cannot know whether an apology and longing will be enough.
