Such a beautiful, hauntingly sad song. I think this song is about completely loving someone with issues, who is afraid of getting too deep into a relationship. It sounds like it starts with a person whose significant other broke up with her because the relationship was getting serious and it scared him. The author is convicted in her love for the other person, and is pleading with that person to look at their relationship objectively and see that it makes them both feel happy. But the author wants the relationship to progress, and wants the other person to stop running away and for both of them fully surrender to the love they have for each other.
In the chorus, "I'll take care of you, if you ask me to//in a year or two", the author is saying the other person can trust her, but ultimately it's up to the other person whether they want to. And she's not trying to pressure him, it's ok to take their time and enjoy the relationship.
She sees that in the relationship, there are feelings that he fears, and it's hard for him to tell if those fears are legitimate and real, or if they're his mind playing tricks on him. And he thinks he has to end things because they're moving too fast, but she reaffirms that he can trust her, and she loves him and is committed.
I love that she repeats that she'll take care of him, over and over again, at the end without the caveat that they can take their time. Because she'll always be there for him.
