Lyrics meaning
The song describes a relationship damaged by suspicion and distance. The speaker says they would leave if their partner truly wanted them to, but also stresses how deeply they need and love them. The mood shifts from pleading and lonely longing to a quieter acceptance that the couple may be better as friends. In the final verse, the speaker has a wife but still remembers a former lover, suggesting that the past remains emotionally present.
Several expressions convey strong feeling. โGive me the signโ means โlet me know,โ here referring to a clear signal to leave. โSleep aloneโ and dream of โtogethernessโ contrast physical separation with the closeness the speaker misses. โMake amendsโ means try to repair a disagreement or relationship; in the song, that effort does not restore the romance.
The repeated claim โthatโs how much I feelโ emphasizes devotion, but it may also sound like a plea for reassurance. The ending is deliberately complicated: the speaker appears committed to a later marriage, yet sees the former loverโs face during intimacy. This could suggest unresolved affection or simply a powerful memory. The lyrics do not explain what happened between the relationships, so the speakerโs feelings can be read as both sincere and conflicted.
