Anna Begins lyrics

I no longer believe this song means he is in love and she is not. I believe that this is the classic scenario where she has feelings for him, but he’s not reciprocation that. But then the tables turn. She tries to get him to fully commit himself to the relationship but he doesn't want to take that step but uses her for either the company, the... whatever. "Wrap her up in a package of lies, Send her off to a coconut island" to me means that he's telling her what she wants to hear in order to make her content and keep her around. "My friend assures me, "It's all or nothing." him not being 'overly concerned' to me means that he's not worried because he knows she's not going anywhere. “I am notworried, I am not overly concerned with the status of my emotions. "Oh," she says, "you're changing." The lies are working. Until finally she realizes that he's not coming around completely: "These seconds when I'm shaking leave me shuddering for days," she says.
And I'm not ready for this sort of thing." She wants more than what he's showing her so she thinks about getting out. She's free after all because they haven't made a commit. "It seems like I should say, "As long as this is love..." he can tell her that and make it better but he prefers to "snap her up in a butterfly net, pin her down in a photograph album" he realizes that she's slowing getting out and that's when he realizes that he fell in love with her. So then he starts to realize the consequences (emotions) and it keeps him up at night because he didn't want to have feelings. "...And Anna begins to change my mind." He's fallen for her. ((hehe suckerr)) "And every word is nonsense but I understand and.." I interpret this as being one of those things that are just FAMILIAR. It doesn't say how long they've been 'together' but i think that line shows that it's been long enough to know her. He's not ready to love anyone or at least accept that he has feelings. "She disappears, and Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing." enough said.
