Lyrics meaning
The singer describes a secret relationship with someone who already has a family. Their time together is brief, and she feels neglected because she comes โlast on your list.โ Even though friends encourage her to find someone available, she cannot let go. The mood shifts from loneliness and sadness to hopeful excitement as she waits for him to visit, though that happiness seems temporary.
โStolen momentsโ suggests that their meetings are hidden and limited, as if borrowed from the other personโs family life. โFeeling blueโ is an idiom meaning feeling sad. The promise that they would โrun away togetherโ represents a hoped-for escape into a shared future; the singer now calls this promise an โold fantasy,โ showing that she doubts it will happen.
The lyrics hold both devotion and disappointment. โSaving all my loveโ can mean reserving her affection for this man, but it also highlights how much she is giving to a relationship that offers little security. Her certainty that no one else will do may express deep attachment, or it may show how difficult it is for her to imagine a different life. The song does not resolve whether she will keep waiting or eventually recognize that the promises are unlikely to come true.
