she wakes up, rage and grace
pulling me closer, pushing away
and me, the sharpest thorn on your vine
twisting and turning, we're all intertwined
broken wing, empty glass
words that scream and bounce right back
she says "you know, we'd all like to re-arrange"
i wish i could fix you and make you how i want you
i wish i could fix you and i wish you could fix me
i wish i could heal you and mend where you are broken
i wish i could heal you and i wish you could heal me
a beaming sunrise buries the night
the setting sun destroys the light
and she says "baby i gotta get goin"
cutting each other without even knowin
she sees a million stars like holes in the sky
all god's tears for her, they cry
and i am in her rain
i wish i could fix you and make you how i want you
i wish i could fix you and i wish you could fix me
i wish i could heal you and mend where you are broken
i wish i could heal you and i wish you could heal me
broken wing, empty glass
words that scream and bounce right back
she says "you know, we'd all like to re-arrange"
pulling me closer, pushing away
and me, the sharpest thorn on your vine
twisting and turning, we're all intertwined
broken wing, empty glass
words that scream and bounce right back
she says "you know, we'd all like to re-arrange"
i wish i could fix you and make you how i want you
i wish i could fix you and i wish you could fix me
i wish i could heal you and mend where you are broken
i wish i could heal you and i wish you could heal me
a beaming sunrise buries the night
the setting sun destroys the light
and she says "baby i gotta get goin"
cutting each other without even knowin
she sees a million stars like holes in the sky
all god's tears for her, they cry
and i am in her rain
i wish i could fix you and make you how i want you
i wish i could fix you and i wish you could fix me
i wish i could heal you and mend where you are broken
i wish i could heal you and i wish you could heal me
broken wing, empty glass
words that scream and bounce right back
she says "you know, we'd all like to re-arrange"

P.S.: I'm listening to next song (Let's hear it...) now and it sounds like a powered version of "message in a bottle". Weird...
The girl's not who she used to be, since she's fallen from grace, hence: The "Broken Wing" and the "Empty Glass" which could have contained liquor at one point.
She points out how "We'd all like to re-arrange" leading the listener to believe that their relationship isn't picture perfect.
The guy notices the changes in her, and tries to "fix" her - Put her back the way she used to be, or "How (he) wants (her)".
He's hurting inside because he can't figure out what's wrong or how to fix what problems they have in their relationship.
He notices that she sees something romantic like the stars as nothing more than "Holes in the sky". And the fact that God's tears are for her, is because she can't see the sentimental value in them, as well as her boyfriend/fiancee/etc.
I'm assuming the reason "(He's) in her rain" is because he feels like he doesn't mean much more than a passing rainstorm.
In the end though, he remembers that even though they'd like to re-arrange, there's not much he can do.
In any case, as I've posted along with my other comments, this is just my opinion. I don't expect you to take me seriously, but I'd like it if you didn't flame me for saying what I've interpreted the song to be. If I offended you in someway, I give you my apologies in advance.
The meaning is really deep and I like it a lot. It's basically a couple that can't work past their problems, they love each other deeply and want it to be perfect again and fix each other but it just can't work but he's imagining how perfect it would be if it could work.
It could also mean a girl he loves is suffering with addiction and he wants the girl he used to love back.
kensredemption i think u got it in one there!
