I think he general idea of this song is a post-breakup. The chorus really hits home for me. And even if your voice comes back again Maybe they'll be no one listening (even if she comes back to him he may not be there then) And even if I find the strength to stand Doesn't mean I won't go missing (If he can find the strength to not let her back in, he may very well lose all contact with her because even a little would break him down and let her back into his heart) And the world will come Crashin (it will all hit her what has happened) i think the "crashing" is generic and changes meanign throughout the song though. Crashing is just a metaphor for life hitting you in the face. Just as it does after a break up. This is an optimistic break up song though which I really appreciate. |

I see the cancer connection but from the second I heard this song, I thought it was a break-up song. Parting with someone you really care about and knowing the pain is so heavy but that you can get through it. An optimistic song. There's a lot that I don't know There's a lot that I'm still learning (about a girl) But I think I'm letting go To find my body is still burning (he tells himself he is over her but still finds himself not able to let her go) And you hold me down And you got me living in the past (She keeps reminding him of what they used to be) Come on and pick me up Somebody clear the wreckage from the blast (He doesn't mind living in the past as long as he is happy and ignoring the present) And I'm alive And I don't need a witness (I always thought it said "And I don't need to WIN THIS, which makes more sense in that he is ok with the breakup and being the one who is broken because he knows that he will survive) To know that I survived I'm not looking for forgiveness I just need light I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution (As long as he get some sort of closure he knows he will be ok) And the bars are finally closed So I try living in the moment (He can't drink away the present) 'Til the moment it just froze And I felt sick and so alone (Being sober makes him realize how lonely he is) I can hear the sound Of your voice still ringing in my ear I'm going underground But you'll find me anywhere I feel (He wants to escape her but can't, obviously) |

First let me say that I could very well be 100% wrong but I will type up the song how IT IS TO ME. I believe it to be a very sad song about a couples inevitable breakup and that no matter how badly he wants to keep her, he just can't. The roads are wrapped around your waist They lead me place to place I take trips from hip to hip In fact I’ve made a career out of it (not sure about this part but roads on waists and trips on hips sounds like a reference to sex but also a reference to him constantly traveling while on tour. Possibly him cheating on her while on tour) I’ve always thought the left was your strongest side (he always thought she let her heart lead her) But when it comes to you, now I can’t decide (maybe she is no longer listening to her heart) It’s only a matter of time (she will break up with him and use her brains to get over him rather than follow her heart) I need the product of your fears In the form of tears (he wants to see that she still cares about him) It’s the only way I can survive It breaks my heart to see you crying, baby (he hates to see her cry but needs it to feel secure about their relationship because he still feels emotions towards her) It’s the only way I stay alive Green eyes, blue skies (green= grounded. she is grounded and realistic in contrast to just letting go and flying away with the blue skies) Natural disasters when she cries (when she cries it brings out so many emotions in both of them and everything gets turned upside down) Green eyes, they’re mine It’s only a matter of time (she is currently his but only for a short time) Like the climate, You never know what weather you get (she is fickle with him and sometimes acts like she cares) No denying, You’re the habit that I can’t quit (he can't deny that he needs her) It’s only a matter of mine (only so long before she will get over and leave him) Rotating, I’m shaking (he realizes he has lost her) I hope you turn around in time (he wants to bring her back in time to a point when she cared and stop her from thinking about things realistically) Tides changing, I’m waiting (things between them have changed) You and I are one of a kind (him convincing her to come back to him as he waits for her) (You’re changing) I’ve been both of our fears over my short years (he has become someone he hates as a bf. this goes back to my earlier theory about cheating while on the road) I still can’t pick my favorite place (Don't make me) The contour on your lips, they match your continents And I still love the way that you taste (he loves everything about her and can't even chose which part he loves best) |
