From the perspective of someone in love with a man who is very closed and hard to interpret. She wishes she could understand him and get a look into his rich inner world, but she realizes it is the very mystery that attracts her and inspires her.

lyrics

I see you underneath an oak tree
What am I to do
but imagine what you're thinking

Your words are doors to all your feelings
I am curious
but guardedly you use them

And all the meaning in your eyes
cannot hold the worlds in your mind

In all these dreams I happily find
you're an open book and fully mine

I get so tired
of constantly guessing
You've got me guessing, baby
And I get so tired
of secretly missing
a man who's always drifting...

I guess I've always loved a mystery
I like to think
of every possibility

Your depth and all your situations,
they've got me hooked
risky fascination

And all the meaning in your eyes
cannot hold the worlds in your mind

In all these dreams I happily find,
you're an open book and fully mine

Ignite me like
a candle wick 'cause I'm fading,
I'm out of inspiration
The rope will end
with burnt-out indignation
and lingering elation
