In 2003, my husband left me for a year. He was seeing another woman. I remember listening to this song over and over and over again. The part where he says, "I don't know why you're mean to me when I call on the telephone..." that always hit me so deep because I'd call in desperation, just trying to get him back and he'd be so cold and so heartless. And then, "These words, you will be mine... all the time..." They made me feel stronger. I'm really not sure why because they are just words, but the emotion behind them was so intense! "Going to make whatever it takes, ring you up, call you down, sign your name, secret love... Couldn't I take you in and make you mine?" There's not many parts of this song that didn't mean something to me during that hard time. I agree, it's about unrequited love. Fortunately, my husband came to his senses and we've been married for 12 years now, but... wow... this was one of the hardest parts of my life and this song... it just spoke volumes for me. AMAZING SONG!!
"I need a chance, a second chance, a third chance, a fourth chance, a word, a signal, a nod, a little breath just to fool myself, catch myself, to make it real..."
