    Question Songs with Ambiguous Meanings?

    I'm trying to find a song(s) with lyrics that are somewhat obscure, yet might be construed as a love song. I want to send the lyrics to someone, but I'm not looking for lyrics that come right out and say "I love you," but might hint of that. A theme of "forbidden love" or a love that can never be would fit this situation quite well, or even a deep friendship. Mostly I need a song that has deep or profound lyrics that leave enough questions as to the interpretation that the recipient is left wondering what the song's message is. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Slow Show by The National

    Standing at the punch table swallowing punch
    can’t pay attention to the sound of anyone
    a little more stupid, a little more scared
    every minute more unprepared

    I made a mistake in my life today
    everything I love gets lost in drawers
    I want to start over, I want to be winning
    way out of sync from the beginning

    I wanna hurry home to you
    put on a slow, dumb show for you
    and crack you up
    so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
    god I’m very, very frightening
    I’ll overdo it

    Looking for somewhere to stand and stay
    I leaned on the wall and the wall leaned away
    Can I get a minute of not being nervous
    and not thinking of my ****
    My leg is sparkles, my leg is pins
    I better get my **** together, better gather my **** in
    You could drive a car through my head in five minutes
    from one side of it to the other

    I wanna hurry home to you
    put on a slow, dumb show for you
    and crack you up
    so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
    god I’m very, very frightening
    I’ll overdo it

    You know I dreamed about you
    for twenty-nine years before I saw you
    You know I dreamed about you
    I missed you for
    for twenty-nine years

    You know I dreamed about you
    for twenty-nine years before I saw you
    You know I dreamed about you
    I missed you for
    for twenty-nine years

    not sure if the last bit isn't subtle enough, but I LOVE this song!
