definitely the man's somewhat ambiguous and wavering between staying and leaving but as i perceive it's out of more than just one reason, that he is strong-willed or anything. the punch-lines are acutally the very last verse which appears in some versions of lyrics but gets replaced by icelandic in the actual song:
life's a necklace of fears
your uncried tears on a string
our love will untie them, come here--
loving me is the easiest thing
it's just so very obvious in here that bjork's trying to imply it's the constant 'fears' in life that make the man hesitate. the 'uncried tears' represent the unspoken truth hidden deeply in the man's heart, suppressed by conventions. feeling pathetic for the man however, the woman wants to save the man by freeing his heart from the earthly worries for that such a full-hearted love is paradoxically the simplest and 'easiest'. quite a contempt on social morality and prejudice in this sense. but too bad this verse is not counted so...how sad.
