The meaning of this song for me is about being with someone and expecting them to love you the same way you love them. To say the words. To commit to the actions now and commit to the future. But by expecting certain things, making sure she or he follows the rules, the other person isnt really in love…or at least not as in love as he or she thinks she is….referees dont fall in love…and the hardestt part is he wants to be in love and be loved in return
