this is a song abt soul-searching and the love that she once had. she thought she had the ultimate love and understanding of this guy but he himself lack self-awareness, hence it is impossible for him to complement the girl. interestingly, she says 'some day i'll have to give you away'. she is, already, portending the future. she is realistic. and it is this strong sense of realism and pessimism that conflicts her want for freedom and the urge to find herself. no doubt the tune and all renders this song a happy, delightful one. nonetheless, the lyrics have strong undertones of instability, fear, insecurity and uncertainty.
