These boards and the Bob Dylan boards are so intelligent. You guys have such great comments. Ok, on to my opinion;
This is about two lovers who never loved each other at the same time. They have such strong feelings for one another but they always show up a little late in reciprocating that love.
"Besides, maybe this time is different
I mean, I really think you like me"
They were always so selfish and now, after a journey without each other, have come to realize they are "boomerangs" (re: "You Will..."). There is also the line-
"But I'd rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery
"
Leading me to think- "Ok, yeah, we have to TRY in this relationship but it's better than searching for something fake and easy and has a good chance of never happening.". After all, don't you cherish something that you work for rather than have it given to you? Finally, the words -
"So I thought I'd let you know
That these things take forever, I am especially slow
But I realized how I need you
And I wondered if I could come home"
He spent the previous verses professing his love. Sort of an embarassing moment where before he was so vulnerable with his heart, now he feels the need to retract his feelings and apologize in his own way. Look at the word "home" and its context in the paragraph. He is in a moment of realization and wants to reach out and grab what he knows he neglected in the first place.
Bah! I could go on analyzing but it's a beautiful song and the meaning could just be he felt the words fit well and were nothing more than that =p
I really enjoy reading these posts. You guys should get in on some of the Dylan songs too.
