mike def has an innovative interpretation to clocks. The juxtaposition of the voices makes me look at it in a different way. Of course everyone is free to interpret the song in their own way but I think anyone who examines it on any level will determine, like most coldplay joints, that despite its appearence as a "relationship" song, its far more deep, almost existential.
Personally I like how he takes the most pessimistic view of life -- closing walls and ticking clocks, cursed missed opportunities-- and overcomes them by contemplating the beauty of existence -- u are --
the final stanza,-- home, where i wanted 2 roam-- refers to death as kind of a liberator. despite all our individual lives and the pain in them, we all eventually go home, returning to our source.
Wut makes the song so badass is the melody tho, its almost haunting. combine that with those introspective words and you get like the first real classic song of generation y.

There is no reference point to understand or compare our existence to.

"I could not stop that you now 'know', singing -- You are. You are. You are".
Realizing existence can be a weird experience. He "couldn't stop that (we) now know" that We Are.
