Just close your eyes
And count to five
Let's craft the only thing we know into surprise
Set down your glass
I painted this
To look like you and me forever as we're now
[Chorus]
And I'm shaking, then I'm still
When your eyes meet mine I lose simple skills
Like to tell you all I want is now
You say I'm cold
I'm just not the same
As I was a year ago
And each minute since then
My jumper tears
As we take off
You say you'll sew me good as new
And I know you will
[Chorus: x2]
And count to five
Let's craft the only thing we know into surprise
Set down your glass
I painted this
To look like you and me forever as we're now
[Chorus]
And I'm shaking, then I'm still
When your eyes meet mine I lose simple skills
Like to tell you all I want is now
You say I'm cold
I'm just not the same
As I was a year ago
And each minute since then
My jumper tears
As we take off
You say you'll sew me good as new
And I know you will
[Chorus: x2]

If anything, it reminds me of the pilot episode of LOST: "close your eyes and count to five," plus "you'll sew me good as new". Both are part of the initial meeting of two of the show's protagonists. It's that intimate moment between Jack and Kate that sets up (quite unexpectedly) the difficult romance of six seasons forthcoming.
It doesn't have to be an intentional reference to be a great song, however. The idea of the important moment is strong, whatever the songwriter's intent.
Something happens, and you're just sold. Why it was allowed to occur is an argument for another day. I've heard the argument that there is no free will, only a design so vast that no individual can comprehend the true meaning of fate.
You can avoid it all you want, but something like love will happen, and you have to give in to it and fight for it (even if it means punishment). And it can be something so simple; a moment that will permeate the rest of your life:
All I want is now, is truth.
