Most of my sweet memories were buried in the sand
The fire and the pain will now be coming to an end
How did you get to save me from this desolate wasteland
In your eyes I see the dawn of brighter days again.
With my tears you washed away the mud stuck on my hands
All the things you're trying to do make me a better man
Now I remember the joy and the taste of candy cane
The innocence of youth and the sound of major scales.
Most of what I used to be had vanished in the waves
The memories of the boy I've been were drowning and you saved them
Now I remember the joy and the meaning of the fate
The color of the truth and the sound of sunny days.
Most of my sweet memories were buried in the sand
The fire and the pain will now be coming to an end
How did you get to save me from this desolate wasteland
In your eyes I see the dawn of brighter days again
The fire and the pain will now be coming to an end
How did you get to save me from this desolate wasteland
In your eyes I see the dawn of brighter days again.
All the things you're trying to do make me a better man
Now I remember the joy and the taste of candy cane
The innocence of youth and the sound of major scales.
The memories of the boy I've been were drowning and you saved them
Now I remember the joy and the meaning of the fate
The color of the truth and the sound of sunny days.
The fire and the pain will now be coming to an end
How did you get to save me from this desolate wasteland
In your eyes I see the dawn of brighter days again

These are some of the best lines I've ever heard, he's saying that this girl that he fell in love with is bringing out the little kid in him. You find that this is true when you get the right person.
This feels like a counterpart to Iron to me. That song is about a soldier broken and muted by the horrors of war and the deeds he's done, this feels like that same person returning home and slowly coming back into himself with help from a loved one. Excellent songs, whether they bear a relation to each other or not.

After years of growing up and facing the harsh reality of the world; after loosing the wonder and the magic that surrounds everything when we are children, he has found new meaning in real love. All that was lost retuns at once when we feel love, the whole world shines anew in colors and light. A new dawn indeed, that we can see in the eyes of the one who loves us back.
