Are you having trouble keeping up?
Seeing this thing through?
I want to know who you're running from,
Me or you?
You're too confused to open up,
Feel the way I do
I want to know who you're thinking of
Cause I really have no clue
Another game of charades
Don't you know everybody plays?
I don't want to lose to you that way
Maybe we'll be different this time around
Maybe we'll be different I don't know
Don't want to strangle this, so I'm holding back for now
Calm down, don't take it too far
I know only time can heal scars
So I'm ready when you are, when you are
I'm ready when you are
Don't want any false starts
I can do without the time apart
So I'm ready when you are, when you are
I'm ready when you are
Are you having trouble keeping up?
You know that I will wait
I wonder if it's good enough
To make you stay
You're too confused to open up
You don't know what to say
Well you can tell me if you think it's love
I won't be far away
Another game of charades
Don't you know everybody plays?
I don't want to lose to you that way
Maybe we'll be different this time around
Maybe we'll be different I don't know
Don't want to strangle this, so I'm holding back for now
Calm down, don't take it too far
I know only time can heal scars
So I'm ready when you are, when you are
I'm ready when you are
Tied down
Don't want any false starts
I can do without the time apart
So I'm ready when you are, when you are
I'm ready when you are
I want to know if you're thinking of me
I'll be counting the hours even though I know I'm free
Too soon to take a chance
No more questions left to ask
I could be anything, but the one thing I'm not sure you want to be
Calm down, don't take it too far
I know only time can heal scars
So I'm ready when you are, when you are
I'm ready when you are
Don't want any false starts
I can do without the time apart
So I'm ready when you are, when you are
I'm ready when you are
Calm down, don't take it too far
I know only time can heal scars
So I'm ready when you are, when you are
I'm ready when you are
Calm down
Don't want any false starts
I can do without the time apart
So I'm ready when you are, when you are
I'm ready when you are
Calm down, I'm ready when you are

Its probably a early stage relationship where she is haveing second thoughts, mainly cause shes insecure of what he is feeling and her own feelings, she is scared of true love, maybe got burned in some past relationship.
He is mad inlove with her and want to give her all the time she needs.
Don't want to strangle this, so I'm holding back for now
^^ he doesn't want to be clingy, so he's controlling himself and trying to be patient.
(Tied down) Don't want any false starts
^^ he doesn't want to force her into it, unless she's fully dedicated and sure. He doesn't want her to lie about loving him.
I relate. And I love this song.
i love this chorus so much... cuz i'm going through this right now, and i hope it goes the right way.
