You're giving me too many things
Lately you're all I need
You smiled at me and said,
Don't get me wrong I love you
But does that mean I have to meet your father?
When we are older you'll understand
What I meant when I said "No,
I don't think life is quite that simple"
When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
The daily things that keep us all busy
Are confusing me
That's when you came to me and said,
Wish I could prove I love you
But does that mean I have to walk on water?
When we are older you'll understand
It's enough when I say so
And maybe some things are that simple
Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before
Lately you're all I need
You smiled at me and said,
Don't get me wrong I love you
But does that mean I have to meet your father?
When we are older you'll understand
What I meant when I said "No,
I don't think life is quite that simple"
When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
The daily things that keep us all busy
Are confusing me
That's when you came to me and said,
Wish I could prove I love you
But does that mean I have to walk on water?
When we are older you'll understand
It's enough when I say so
And maybe some things are that simple
Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before

"You're giving me too many things" - he's showering her with presents, but all she wants is to be with him. "Don't get me wrong, I love you, but does that mean I have to meet your father?" She's just enjoying being with him, but he's already worrying about things like meeting her dad instead of enjoying her company too. In his mind, you meet someone, you pursue a relationship, you meet their parents and then marriage, but as she says life isn't that simple. But because she doesn't want presents and she's not worrying about him meeting her dad, he doesn't know how to prove his love for her. He thinks she's being demanding and that she wants him to walk on water, but that's not it. But in asking her these questions, he's not really proving his love for her at all, just worrying, so she says "it's enough when I say so."
"Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before "
Again, she's not worried about what's in store for them later (whereas he probably is.) She's just happy in the moment and wants to be held.
But I haven't played it in six years, so I wouldn't know. :I
She has a very childlike mentality. It sounds like she doesn't want to grow up to me. She doesn't want responsibilty or to look to the future and so her guy leaves her.
He does leave her ("when you walk away") and she WAS to demanding (all of his dialogue). :P
Ive listened to her more now, and my all fav song by her is Devil inside.
