Precious And Few

The song describes someone who deeply values the time spent with a loved one. The moments together seem limited, which makes them feel precious. The speaker’s mood moves between tenderness and longing: they are happy to think about the relationship, but they also worry about being apart or unable to return.

“Precious and few” means both valuable and scarce. The repeated phrase emphasizes that shared time should not be taken for granted. The image of being “blue like the sky” suggests sadness or loneliness; “blue” often describes a low mood. “Hung over you” may mean being absorbed in thoughts of the loved one, though the phrase can have other meanings in different contexts.

The wish to find a way “back home” could refer to returning to a literal place, or it might suggest wanting to get back to the comfort and closeness of the relationship. The claim that it “wouldn’t be fair” expresses the speaker’s sense that separation would be painful or undeserved. The lyrics do not explain why their time together is limited, so the song can be heard as ordinary longing rather than evidence of a particular situation.
