It is so scary how true this song is. The girl is just becoming more and more unattached in the relationship. The 2nd verse is the most touching. He is trying to figure out why is in the relationship and anaylzing everything and when the girl realizes she might lose him, she "speaks to him in poetry" and everything is okay again. "Sometimes the more you wonder why, the worse it seems to get" is the truest line from the whole song. The whole "ignorance is bliss" belief is so prevalent in relationships. The more you start realizing the problems and the other person in a relationship, the more fights and disagreements come up. "You may believe yours are the wounds that only she can heal"...he seriously thinks that she is the only one that can bring him comfort and to take away all the problems. And in the end, the comfort that he gets is the only one that he will get. She is incapable of caring about him the way that he cares about her.
