I see two people who are so drawn to each other with unbelievable amounts of chemistry... despite both of them being in long term relationships with other people, possibly even married. All along their affair was incredibly passionate and deeper then just two people rebounding or escaping poor relationships. She is in denial about the love developing between them, but can't stay away from him... while he dares her to do the impossible: step out of a bad relationship where she is being mistreated or at least not loved the way he loves her. She keeps him at arms distance and around they go...their hot and cold, on and off, friends and lovers, ashamed and passionate. She pretends not to care when he leaves in the middle of the night or goes back to the other woman in his life...but she holds back from asking him to stay even though he tells her he's falling for her. Maybe she's scared he won't. Finally, she reaches a breaking point and throws her hands in the air ready to give into the love she's been minimizing for so long and begs him to stay with her. Turns out he saves her from a horrible mistake and bad marriage to someone who can't love her or feel for her the way he does. "I'm the only one who needed saving" Now they are teaching each other about love "it's not something you take it's given." They are stepping into the scary territory or being together...which once seemed impossible. When they look back they both aren't sure what to think about their romance "how to feel about it" because both were unfaithful...but they acknowledge that deep stronger then lust feeling that connects them and that their love is real. I think it's a positive song about two people meant to be together... they fill the void in each other "I need this hole gone" and defeat the odds stacked against them...this song is a conversation between these two lovers looking back at their romance and stepping forward, not about the demise of a relationship.
To me it's about two people falling in love despite a million and one complications and what once felt impossible is suddenly real: they are together...doing this thing...a relationship against all the odds but even though they both care very deeply about one another they both still question each other's feelings for the other.
This song completely spoke to my soul. Especially because the last 8 months I've been falling in love with my best friend and not even knowing it while both of us recently went through the process of ending our long term relationships to be with each other...which was incredibly painful and is still trying...but we definitely fill that void in each other
I think the song can speak to people in lots of different ways... I loved reading about peoples drug addiction interpretation and others.
Thank you for writing this. It made me realize a lot that's going on in my life that go far and beyond this song. Sometimes it takes someone to state things a certain way for us to see it for ourselves. I hope it all worked out for you.

We found ourselfves in a very similar situation. Good friends, I never thought of her as a person who I would share a very deep and healthy love with. We decided that you only live one life and that life is a very short period in time for each person to find what makes them truely happy. Despite all of the compliacations here we are almost a year later and I love her every single day, I appreciate her and I am thankful that she is in my life. Stay was a song that we danced too a few months...

Stay was a song that we danced too a few months ago and both of us later found out felt there was some meaning as we indipendently looked up the lyrics and later their meanings. We laughed when we realized we had both felt and reacted the same to this beautiful song. Your interpretation is so accurate to exactly the way we would interpret the lyrics of this song that it's scary. One of those rare occassions were a complete stanger writtes something that you could have seen yourself writting using those exact words.
Thank you very much for sharing this with us. Enjoy your love.
