I think we think of songs as just a story or a succession of lines all packed into a structure.

But the singer is a character, hes playing the role that the writer came up with. At least in Your Song, he's playing the role of an every day Joe. You can almost see/hear some ordinary Joe saying this to somebody and not really knowing if his words are making an impact. Im pretty sure he could have written a different line, he just felt that line was right...
