I've been obsessing over that song you sent me. The thing with it is not only its lyrics. What I know they mean for you... and what they mean for me. I simply cannot disentangle those lyrics, their meaning, from how the song sounds. And the point is that it sounds like you. It's one of those songs that, regardless of what they say lyrically, they simply sound like the way I see you, the way I perceive you, the way I understand you, the way I idealise you, the way I feel for you. And I can't help but love that. Now add the layer of meaning afforded by the lyrics. Again, I (now) understand what they (what that) means to you. But they also mean a lot to me. It's not only that they help me understand your feelings for me. It's also that they make me feel loved in a way I don't think I'll ever feel loved ever again. It's also that they make me believe in a form of love that I thought I had stopped believing in years ago. It's also that... they reflect how I feel for you too.
