Lyric discussion by subtracting 

every time i listen to this song i get so sad. it just seems like one big recurring dream. like a story with no faults, a tale of coincidentally occurring, perfectly placed people and their love that all circumstances in life would never allow. a dream. the narrator knows it well because its the one dream that they cannot have a night's sleep without.

i realize how depressing that sounds but i have nowhere else to write my personal interpretation so its going here. though i'm glad there is a literal meaning to the words that is beautiful on it own (and a little more hopeful), i just can't shake these feelings whenever i hear this song. justin vernon and bon iver do great things.
