This song is really what love is all about. It's about holding on when things get tough, and never letting go. There's some things that you avoid acknowledging, and life would be easier without, but you pretend you don't notice, and "just hold the smile." There are days when you fight, and days when you don't. Some days you're pleased, and others. Not so much, but you can't help feeling that this was how it was supposed to be. You keep insisting to her that you can "never say never" when you don't know what might happen in the future, and that things seem confusing, and you feel less mature than you were before. And those quiet times when you spend alone, this is what you'll be singing to her. Don't let me go. And suddenly, she's gone. You're telling her now that she can be happy, and do what she wants. She can be the "Queen of everything", but you'll always be there for her, just like you're her best friend. And when she's having a rough go of it, you're by her side, no matter what, no matter how badly she hurts you. And you're begging her, don't let me go, don't let me go, don't let me go-o-o. You don't know what's happening. You're getting closer every day, and then, it seems to rip apart. You get close again, and you're pulled apart again. It seems that life just can't make up it's mind on what to do with you. For now, you've given up, and you're just begging, "Please, baby, don't let me go...".
