I've been questioning days,
I've been questioning nights.
Though my heart is awake,
Life is passing me by.
I prayed to the moon, the silent rain,
To lift me up and then,
Heal me again.
I've been questioning times,
I've been questioning thoughts.
Inside these ivory walls,
Within this ivory heart.
Love like a ghost,
My only friend,
Would seal me up and then,
Leave me again.
I don't know how,
And I don't know where to go,
Till it lifts me up, till it fills me up,
And I'm back again,
All alone.
I've been waiting too long,
Contemplating my bet.
I expected too much,
So you bitterly fled,
Chrashed into the wall,
Of the final round.
Was saved from the flames,
But burned to the ground.
I don't know why,
And i don't know where to go.
Till it lifts me up, till it fills me up,
And I'm back again.
And I don't know why.
And I don't know where to go.
Till it lifts me up, till it fills me up,
Fills me up....
And all alone..

I think this song I about being in love with someone, but not having a chance or the courage to tell him/her. So there's this frustration, sitting at home alone and not knowing what to do.
I think you're right! I never actually wondered what the song was about until I read your comment here!
I just love the 'despair' in his voice when he sings the "I don't know why, and I don't know where to go"
But than again, I love everything he does!
