In the 1980s, sunglasses were a common fashion for people who wanted to adopt a "tough guy" persona (note all the cop shows from that era -- Simon & Simon, Miami Vice, etc. -- where the lead characters wore shades). So I think this song is about a guy who wears shades as a way of hiding his insecurity after learning that his girlfriend is cheating on him. He's trying to pretend that he's a "tough guy" to hide the fact that his girlfriend's affair is disturbing him.
Memory and the way you move
Before you turn your head, love
I know it's you
I'm a child for you and you're music for me
And we park my car by the cypress tree
Then I'll pull your hair
Heads all waggin' but I'll never go
And I'm sifting through the ashes just to be with you
My love, my love, my love
In the sea of faces I will wade for you
You lay beside me and my hand in you
I will wear your cloths or be a child for you
Love, you know I'll be a child for you
Then I'll pull your hair
Heads all waggin' but I'll never go
And I'm, sifting through the ashes just to be with you
My love, my love, my love
Before you turn your head, love
I know it's you
I'm a child for you and you're music for me
And we park my car by the cypress tree
Then I'll pull your hair
Heads all waggin' but I'll never go
And I'm sifting through the ashes just to be with you
My love, my love, my love
In the sea of faces I will wade for you
You lay beside me and my hand in you
I will wear your cloths or be a child for you
Love, you know I'll be a child for you
Then I'll pull your hair
Heads all waggin' but I'll never go
And I'm, sifting through the ashes just to be with you
My love, my love, my love

This track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”

@Kahiara Actually I think the husband passed away,
"She sang for you last night
She heard you were calling"
Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed.
"Don't be scared now
Close your eyes
She holds guard tonight
Go on forward no remorse
Life will take it's course"
This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral.
"She danced with you last night so you will remember
All you have shared, a lifetime."
This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.
