The meaning of the song is a story of a man and a woman in a relationship that isn't ideal. The man is happy to be with her and comfortable with her, but is also aware of her deeper emotional issues. He attempts to provide her with love and reassurance, taking her away from all the "shady" people who don't understand their relationship and just judge them harshly. He provides her with the simple joys of life, love, and the beauty of nature, and although it isn't a perfect relationship, he is committed to being with her no matter what. He provides her with comfort and security, and expresses his inner desire to keep her in his life.
