This Pop-Rock ballad is about a guy telling a girl that her heart is in pain because she found the wrong man, and he's open for her because he is exactly what she was hoping for all along.
In the United States, this is by far the most commercially successful song by this Scottish band, who have had a lot more success in the UK. Written by lead singer Justin Currie, it's not representative of their sound. Running just 2:12, it's much more trite and poppy than most of their songs.
Del Amitri toured the US when this became a hit, but they played the song reluctantly, often telling the audience that it was something they had to do. Del Amitri wasn't able to get a foothold in the States, and this was their last hit there.
